| Glasgow School Installs Bloxx Web Filtering Bloxx announces that The High School of Glasgow has deployed Bloxx web filtering technology to monitor pupil and staff online activity and to provide enhanced security for its IT network. With 1,100 pupils, The High School of Glasgow caters for children of all ages, from kindergarten up to the age of 18 years and offers a wide and varied curriculum. It is divided into two campuses for Junior and Senior level, both of which are based in northwest Glasgow. The decision to replace the school's existing SurfControl web filtering solution with Bloxx Tru-View Technology, followed concerns by IT management that it was becoming increasingly difficult to protect the students from accessing offensive or inappropriate web material whilst at school. Anonymous proxies are websites that allow users to easily bypass web filtering, enabling them to access blocked sites. With hundreds of new proxy sites being created every week, blocking access to these sites using URL lists has become difficult and time consuming for IT staff. Bloxx Tru-View Technology web filtering combines the best of conventional tools with new intelligent identification methods and analysis technologies which can identify and block websites quicker and more accurately than other web filters that rely on manual URL classification and keyword scoring alone. In addition, Bloxx can automatically detect and block the vast majority of newly created anonymous proxy sites, significantly reducing the workload of IT staff and increasing protection against anonymous proxies. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Computing News :: home page |
