"Guardian provides a well structured and effective filtering solution providing excellent protection from known and unknown web content."
Smoothwall Guardian is fully compliant with CIPA regulation and is both flexible and intelligent enough not to block an entire site because of a single offensive word.
Our technology delivers highly accurate real-time filtering results because it dynamically filters every web page - it does not rely on quickly outdated URL lists. The Dynamic Content Analysis engine examines not only the content, but the context and construction of each web page - in this way, all undesirable material can be blocked without unnecessarily impacting the browsing experience.
Guardian’s intuitive reporting engine provides all the detail needed to understand and interpret activity. Real-time logs sit alongside reporting templates that can show detailed information on users, sites and trends. The system has flexible access controls that allow administrators to set time and room based rules and a user portal gives local control to authorized staff, who can override filtering - so inadvertent blocks do not interfere with browsing. In the library environment it is possible to generate reports to see what users have been accessing during lessons, and check the status of temporarily banned users.
