What is SurfProtect™?
Surfprotect ™ has evolved from a single service into an ethos that drives our products to offer a safer experience for school children.
Current services offered under the SurfProtect ™ banner include our realtime web content filtering system and Pupil Mail, our child friendly web mail with inappropriate word filtering. Along with our fast, reliable ADSL Broadband service.
Content filtering...what does that mean?
Very simply, it allows you complete control over what you can view over the Internet and more importantly what you don't want your children, staff or colleagues viewing.
It's all transparent
SurfProtect ™ web filtering does not require any equipment or software in your school network, office or home, to simplify things, it intercepts traffic entering and leaving Exa's network (the Internet), meaning that you could be protected within a couple of minutes from now.
Even better, SurfProtect ™ is free with any Exa Networks' network connectivity product
However, should you not be fortunate enough to be a customer of Exa Networks, SurfProtect ™ is available as a filtering proxy service meaning whoever your provider is you can still use SurfProtect ™, and you should contact our sales team for current pricing.
Accurate and flexible filtering
As well as the default filters, SurfProtect ™ allows per IP filtering policies, through an easy web interface, therefore allowing different people or departments to have different profiles for what they are allowed or not allowed to view.
Becta accredition
SurfProtect ™ is provided by Exa-Networks, and we are now undergoing accreditation by Becta, which we are expecting to be completed in the near future
