CIPAFilter’s Content Filter system was designed to provide school district technology coordinators with a simplified and more effective approach to web filtering. The system was developed based on feedback from schools, and offers a set-and-forget system that does not over block web-sites, prevents use of anonymous proxy servers and circumvention, and uses a very strict context-sensitive pornography filtering algorithm.
The CIPAFilter Difference…Enhanced pornography filtering
that is not as vulnerable to filter circumvention methods and catches in appropriate content regardless of source IP/URL, due to then context-sensitive system that looks at each page Advanced anonymous proxy server detection
that combined with proper configuration virtually eliminates the use of proxies to circumvent the filter! False Positives and over blocking extremely minimal
due to lack of lots of categories and a purely black-list based filtering, but instead a fine-tuned system designed to eliminate this problem and help minimize required management and user intervention. A “set-and-forget” filtering philosophy with less complaints! Authentication
is supported with most major servers including Windows Active Directory, Novell EDirectory and MAC Open Directory. Separate filtering groups and Internet access privileges can be easily configured. CIPAFilter can authenticate users either transparently or by prompting at the browser. Each of these options is discussed in more detail in the whitepaper available for download on this page.
The Web Usage Reporting, available as an additional feature, provides the tools needed to deal with students and users that still are attempting to access inappropriate websites. We believe this is necessary if you wish to discipline and/or enforce the Internet use policy agreement in place, and monitor activity by username. The extensive reporting system gives you all the information you need to properly monitor your system. HOW IT WORKS Download our
