Web filtering for schools isn\u2019t one-size-fits-all. Schools have different needs\u2014just as groups and users within schools have different needs. Our default web filtering policies are based on best practices we\u2019ve developed over 20 years in business. However, Lightspeed Systems also makes it easy to differentiate policies. You can build custom allow\/block lists; custom categories; and policies tailored to users, groups, and schools.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Once your school\u2019s web filtering policies are set, you\u2019ll spend most of your time in the web filter viewing reports.

An incomplete web filtering database results in more work for you and greater risk for your users. It may allow inappropriate content and block educational content, and you\u2019ll have to manually categorize every website the database missed.<\/p>

You don\u2019t have to worry about that with Lightspeed Filter. Our adaptive AI database includes more than 65 million websites and IP addresses. It leverages enhanced machine learning for the most accurate and comprehensive categorization of the web. This means you save time not having to re-categorize websites. This also means you can count on students staying safe and having access to valuable content.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

You need insight into student search terms through your web filtering software. You also need to know which videos students watch.

It required banks of trusted man-in-the-middle proxy servers, PAC files, and trust certificates \u2014 until now.<\/p>

Lightspeed SmartAgents have a self-contained proxy engine. With SmartAgents, you don\u2019t need to set up or manage anything.
