Protect students & staff, manage compliance, and save money.

Websense security solutions make the grade.


Provide safe and proper web access. Websense solutions let your students and staff enjoy the best of the web, while helping you comply with laws such as the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA).*

Make the best use of your time. No more wasting time because you can't delegate basic admin tasks. Websense solutions let you fine-tune user access according to your school's needs. And our easy-to-use templates simplify your compliance with laws and policies.


Control content flow and online access. The web is a valuable resource, and you want students and staff to use it. But you need to protect them from online threats, prevent them from accessing inappropriate content, and manage their internet use during peak hours. Our solutions help you:

  • Filter inappropriate content, malicious code, and other threats
  • Control access to protocols including IM, P2P, and streaming media
  • Prioritize network access according to users, time of day, and other parameters


Protect data from unauthorized access and loss. Losing confidential records is an IT—and district—nightmare. Social media and thumb drives put your data loss prevention (DLP) efforts to a real test. But you have a trusted ally in Websense. Websense solutions help you:

  • Prevent data loss and manage your regulatory compliance with Websense Web Security Gateway
  • Secure your school's confidential information by tracking its transmission, storage, and access with the Websense Data Security Suite

Save money without compromising security. Are budget constraints forcing you to do more with less? We can help you protect your students and staff without compromise. Websense® TRITON™ solutions with TruHybrid™ deployment can reduce your costs by unifying web, data, and email security solutions. Your IT staff will appreciate the increased security and simplicity, too.



The Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA)* The Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) is a federal law that addresses offensive online content in schools and libraries. Failure to comply with CIPA can expose your students to online dangers and lead to reduced federal funding and potential lawsuits for your school. Websense solutions help you manage your compliance with CIPA by:

  • Managing internet access to over 90 pertinent URL categories containing more than 36 million URLs
  • Helping to filter inappropriate images from search engine query results
  • Helping block sites that contain spyware, phishing, and other threats to the personal information of minors
  • Monitoring and reporting on the online activities of minors
  • Customizing internet policies based on users or groups, age or needs
