Netsweeper onGuard+ Digital Safeguarding

Netsweeper onGuard+ Digital Safeguarding is a web filtering and content monitoring solution designed for educational institutions to protect students online. The platform uses AI-enhanced categorization to scan and classify billions of websites in real-time, blocking harmful or inappropriate content.

The solution provides web filtering capabilities that work across multiple deployment options including cloud agents, hybrid cloud, in-line appliance, Layer 7, VM infrastructure, DNS, GRE tunneling, and IPSEC. It extends filtering and monitoring to BYOD and remote devices across Windows, macOS, Chrome, Android, and iOS platforms, even when users are not connected to the filtered network.

The digital safeguarding component proactively identifies at-risk student activities in real-time through OCR and active system monitoring. It captures screen content and audits activity across applications, media, and devices to support student mental health and wellbeing initiatives.

The platform includes flexible social media controls, multi-tenancy support, comprehensive reporting capabilities, and dynamic URL filtering that updates categories in real-time to address new threats. It is designed as a carrier-grade solution for high-demand networks with minimal latency impact.
