Smoothwall Hybrid Filter is a web filtering solution designed for UK educational institutions that combines on-premise and cloud-based filtering capabilities. The product provides content-aware filtering for devices both on and off the network, supporting Windows, Chromebooks, Mac, and iPads. The solution operates through a device-agnostic on-premise appliance that enables deployment of cloud infrastructure from a single dashboard. It delivers real-time filtering and reporting regardless of network location, ensuring consistent safety levels across on-premise and cloud environments. The hybrid architecture allows organizations to maintain their existing on-premise infrastructure while gaining cloud filtering capabilities, eliminating the need for separate filtering systems. Management is centralized through a unified dashboard that controls both remote and on-premise devices. The product is SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2 certified. It provides filtering coverage for all devices at all times, whether students are connected to school networks or external networks. The solution aims to streamline resource management by consolidating filtering operations into a single platform rather than requiring separate on-premise and cloud filters.
