Thousands of schools and libraries rely on Websense to provide a safe and productive learning environment for students and faculty. With accurate security filtering to handle uncategorized sites and user-generated content, safe-search capabilities, and flexible policy setting, Websense solutions provide administrators, rather than IT experts, with the ability to create and enforce security policies across school districts.

Challenges Facing K-12 Schools
Educational providers must implement security measures, not just filtering, to protect students from malicious threats, child predators, and inappropriate content or offensive emails. The risks from these threats are growing, and yesterday’s protection within schools and libraries is no longer adequate to meet today’s threats. District administrators and supervisors must upgrade their technology in order to stop savvy students from circumventing acceptable use policies with Web-based proxies and anonymizers.

Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA)
Laws like the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) can penalize schools that don’t use Web filtering software by withholding federal Internet and computer funding. Websense meets CIPA criteria. Learn more >

With Websense Essential Information Protection, educational institutions can add protection to help:

• Prevent students, staff and faculty from accessing inappropriate content or downloading malicious code
