Smoothwall as a Service – Web Filtering For Schools and GP Practices
Rydal Group can help with the set up and management of Smoothwall, a service which is designed to protect schoolchildren, guests and users from being exposed to any harmful content online
Smoothwall is a web filtering software and through a combination of behavioural technology and human intervention is able to block any potentially harmful content. For more than 10,000 schools and universities in the UK that rely on their technology and internet for learning, Smoothwall offers a strong and robust service to block any dangerous content and produce activity reports on demand.
The 24/7 service is available 365 days per year and Rydal Group can help with the set up, installation and management of Smoothwall as a service, which is ideal for schools, colleges, universities, libraries, GP practices, clinics and more.
Smoothwall as a Service for Schools and Universities
The Smoothwall service allows schools to block sites that are deemed inappropriate to minors, including websites, images, social media, apps, emails and more.
Smoothwall’s services are designed to help keep students safe and thriving in their digital lives. The safety features protect the well-being of students, the time pressures of teachers, and the cost constraints of leaders.
Available for pupils throughout all the K Stages to universities, the service extends to teachers and office administrators. The system helps educators to meet their safeguarding requirements and legal mandates set out under the Prevent Duty and Keeping Children Safe Online.
Smoothwall Web Filtering For Schools
Any potentially harmful content can be blocked automatically using Smoothwall’s moderation and also gives schools the chance to manually restrict any content themselves.
Extra levels can be addressed to restrict access to the school’s WiFi and limit bandwidth for guests and downloads, such as image downloads. Each network device is given a certificate to prove its identity. The certificate contains a public key that can be shared, and a private key that only the device knows.
Classroom Management Technology
Smoothwall gives you the ability to see, monitor and report any security issues. With children often having their own mobile or smart device, and access to computers at school, Smoothwall can allow you to cover all your bases and provide a strong and safe internet and digital experience for your pupils.
This includes offering protection for remote learning and online courses, where hacking, zoom bombing and explicit material may creep in.
Rydal Group can help set up and manage Smoothwall to protect your school from external risks, including hacking, indecent images, explicit or adult content and extremism. As a company that has been operating for 16 years in the IT support and cybersecurity space, we would be delighted to better understand your school’s needs and how we can assist you.
