Real-time web filter for education

Smoothwall is the safest, most purchased filter in UK Education. It is the ONLY filter to deliver against the 4 factors needed for maximum safety and rich, age-appropriate online learning.

  1. Real-time, ALL of the time
    While other filters are real-time some of the time, Smoothwall is real-time, ALL of the time. That means there is never any delay between dangerous content going live and our Filter’s ability to block it. Not one second. Not one piece of content. Not ever.
  2. True content analysis
    We don’t rely on blocklists alone. ALL content is textually analysed as it streams to the user so over blocking is eliminated. Students enjoy the richest and safest online learning.
  3. Granular control
    Granular controls mean our IT customers can easily choose who sees what, where and when, to give students maximum protection AND age and location appropriate online experiences.
  4. Hybrid deployment
    With our hybrid deployment, our customers benefit from all of the above safety features regardless of whether their devices are in school or remote. No need to send devices home unfiltered. No need for separate on-premise and Cloud solutions. No safety compromises common to many cloud-only solutions. Smoothwall Filter does it all.
