Netsweeper Real-time Web Filtering

Netsweeper Real-time Web Filtering is a web content filtering solution designed for educational institutions from kindergarten through high school (K-12). The platform provides real-time monitoring and filtering of web content to protect students from harmful or inappropriate material while supporting compliance with policies such as CIPA (Children's Internet Protection Act). The solution uses AI-powered content categorization to analyze and filter web content dynamically. It maintains a database of over 3 billion categorized URLs that updates in real-time, covering education-specific categories including hate speech, weapons, cyberbullying, and drug abuse. The platform includes onGuard technology that extends filtering capabilities beyond the school network to protect devices regardless of location or operating system (Windows, Mac, Chrome, Android, iOS). This enables remote learning scenarios while maintaining content filtering and security policies. Social media controls allow administrators to manage access to platforms like TikTok, YouTube, and X (formerly Twitter) through both browser-based and app-based interfaces. Administrators can configure restrictions based on age, usage context, and time of day. The system provides centralized policy management through a customizable interface with detailed reporting and dashboard capabilities. It includes SafeSearch enforcement for search engines like Google, Bing, and YouTube to block inappropriate content based on search terms. The platform supports multi-school management from a single interface with delegation capabilities.
