Filter and Firewall – practical online safety solutions for complex environments.

Healthcare organisations need to safe internet access whilst maintaining a great online experience for clinical and non-clinical staff, patients and visitors. 

Smoothwall’s web filtering is favoured by the Healthcare sector because of its real-time content-aware analysis. It scans the copy, content and context of every page for unwanted material and has 120 filtering categories which can be used to tailor patients web browsing experience to ensure that harmful content is out of reach.  

We understand the unique challenges healthcare organisations face

Our web filtering solutions are designed to provide a custom, safe and secure internet access which also has benefits for both patient rehabilitation and staff welfare. 

Combined with our safeguarding suite, guest WiFi capability and other features, we can provide tailored solution for every type of healthcare organisation.    

We’re proud to support over 100,000 NHS staff, 28 Trusts and 2 Commissioning Support Units.

Corporate Networks 

Our BYOD support means users can connect their device to the WiFi network and receive the same levels of filtering and protection without affecting bandwidth. You can apply web filtering to all staff members, as well as add granular categorisation and bandwidth control to ensure that business critical services are always available to those who need them.  

 

“We look at 7 or 8 other providers but Smoothwall’s multi-domain
support, robust reporting engine and sophisticated anti-malware
scanning were essential to our requirements.”

Head of Infrastructure Solutions, NEL CSU

 

Guest Networks

As NHS Healthcare organisations continue to adopt free guest WiFi we can help you maintain safe internet provision with no interference to the corporate network, no disruption to bandwidth and no loss of data integrity. The need to have everyone authenticated all the time is met with login pages, so that your reports are accurate per user.

 

“Smoothwall Filter is very intuitive and smart. There are no back
doors or hiding places; now it’s not possible for users to get around

the filtering.”
