Education focused filtering

Thousands of schools rely on Guardian to control internet access, protect students and prevent proxy abuse. It delivers a cost-effective solution to the challenge of protecting students and school networks from undesirable content, while still allowing open access to online learning resources.  CIPA Compliance is achieved with just one click using the CIPA 'default AUP' policy setting.

How Guardian works

Guardian delivers highly accurate, real-time filtering results using Dynamic Content Analysis - it examines the content, context and construction of every web page requested. All undesirable material (including proxy anonymizers & online games) can be detected and blocked without disrupting educational web resources.

School specific features

What Guardian does best:

• The most intelligent dynamic content filtering available
• Blocking proxies and online games
• Preventing malware execution
• Filtering secure (SSL) traffic
• Controlling streaming media and IM
• Filtering and monitoring search strings, including image searches
• Comprehensive reporting on web activity

Flexible access controls allow administrators to set detailed rules and give control to teachers to override filtering, access reports and check the status of banned users.  Intuitive reporting provides the detail needed to understand all activity with real-time logs that show individual user browsing to trends and site specific reports.
