HOW CAN YOU SAVE STUDENTS AT RISK FROM VIOLENCE, SELF-HARM, OR CYBERBULLYING?
onGuard: AI-Detected, Human-Verified Digital Safety Monitoring
onGuard is Netsweeper’s premier student protection product. To accurately determine who’s at risk, onGuard uses active system monitoring, including optical character recognition, to detect user activity and send alerts if potential risks are identified. To provide realistic context, this information is then reviewed in-person for evaluation, decision-making, or intervention. Fully integrated with the core nFilter platform, onGuard works online and offline, scanning internet content, desktop content, and user-submitted data in real time. Plus, it records at risk activity for case tracking and escalation processing via the onGuard dashboard.

Helps Protect Students and Teachers Proactively
onGuard monitors, detects and alerts administrators to content related to violence, self-harm, cyberbullying, and other serious threats. As these online interactions need to be understood and contextualized by people, the solution alerts the administrator, who can further monitor these activities, intervene proactively, or choose to disregard content identified as posing no danger. By combining AI technology with human verification, false identifications and accusations can be prevented.
