## What is 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.
