Secures Devices On and Off Campus

Extend remote web filtering and policy enforcement to every device and operating system (Windows, Mac, Chrome, Android, and iOS), anywhere. Integrated into Netsweeper’s core platform, our onGuard technology works online and offline, scanning internet and desktop content as well as user-submitted data in real time—even when disconnected from a Netsweeper network. This enables schools to equip students with devices for remote learning while protecting them from harmful content and cyber threats such as ransomware.

Controls Social Media Use

Limit access to popular student apps like TikTok, YouTube and Twitter easily. Our policy management tool provides safe online access without over-blocking, while giving IT administrators control of app- and web-based social media platforms. This allows schools to select which features they want to block based on their specific needs and criteria such as age, application and time of day.

Reduces Administrative Burden

Simplify management and enforce policies such as CIPA with centralized, customizable tools. Our database of more than 3 billion URLs undergoes real-time, dynamic updates to education-specific categories such as hate speech, weapons, cyberbullying and substance abuse. These categories are AI-populated and not based on static lists, so they deliver full protection from the newest online threats. To expedite and simplify tasks, administrators can set their own filtering policies through our easy-to-use interface, and get detailed reporting via a simple visual dashboard for quick analysis of school or district information.
