Overview
Securly Filter is a cloud-based web filtering solution designed specifically for K-12 schools to keep students safe online and ensure compliance with regulations like the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA).
Here is a breakdown of what makes it distinct:
-
Cloud-Based & Device Agnostic: It filters internet traffic on any device (Chromebooks, iPads, Macs, PCs), whether students are on campus, at home, or using personal devices (BYOD).
-
AI-Powered Categorization: It uses an AI engine called "PageScan" to analyze and categorize new websites in real time, proactively blocking inappropriate content (such as adult material, gambling, or hate speech).
-
Beyond Basic Blocking: While its core function is restricting harmful content, it also offers insights into how edtech apps are being used, tools to help students use generative AI safely, and wellness monitoring.
-
Parental Involvement: It integrates with the Securly Home app, allowing parents to view their child's web activity on school-owned devices and manage screen time when the device is at home.
In short, it’s a network tool that not only blocks bad websites but also gives schools and parents visibility into how students are interacting with the digital world.
