Educational Institutes |
| |
| Educational institutes and libraries are responsible for protecting students from harmful sites like pornography, adult chat rooms, gaming and more. Usage of proxies by students to reach blocked sites adds another layer of complexity. Yet, adherence to the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) in USA by ensuring students’ protection online can make these institutions eligible for federal funding of IT investments. |
| |
| Further, these institutions require comprehensive security that prevents malware, phishing, pharming, spyware, hacking and more. At the same time, resource conservation requires limiting access to heavy audio-video downloads and gaming sites, to name a few. |
