A web content WiFi filter for universities and colleges is a tool that can prevent students accessing inappropriate material via the institution´s WiFi service. Although most students attending universities and colleges are no longer minors that need protecting from adult material, a web content filter for universities and colleges can help create a safer browsing experience and more pleasant environment.

Many educational institutions have acceptable use policies for students connecting with their WiFi networks. However, these policies are not always policed or enforced. Students can often access unsavory, unethical or illegal web content - causing offence to those exposed to their browsing activities. A web content WiFi filter for universities and colleges can help police and enforce acceptable use policies and block sexist or racist web content, or sites that propagate extremist religious views.

Enhancing Security with a Web Content WiFi Filter for Colleges

A web content WiFi filter for colleges also enhances online security by blocking access to unsafe websites - typically those known to be harboring malware or suspected to be phishing websites. It does this by comparing each request to visit a website against a global blacklist of compromised websites and those hiding their true identity behind a proxy server.

The web content WiFi filter for colleges can be configured to refuse requests to visit categories of websites most likely to be harboring malware - pharmaceuticals, media and publishing - while keyword filters can fine tune the category settings by keyword, URL, file type or website score. Whitelists allow specific websites to be accessed if required for educational or research purposes, and “cloud keys” can override all the filter settings when necessary.

In addition to enhancing online security for students and their devices, a web content WiFi filter for colleges can help stop hackers from breaking through cybersecurity defenses to access research and personal data stored on university databases. This type of data is highly sought by cybercriminals, who can sell on research information or use personal data to commit identity theft. The filter can be configured to report on any unauthorized attempts to circumnavigate its parameters.
