Web filtering and control for mobile devices - Smoothwall Mobile Guardian for Windows, Mac OSX and iOS

- 06 January 2012Smoothwall

Managing, controlling and appropriately filtering web use on mobile devices is becoming a core part of every network managers’ day to day responsibility.

MobileGuardian - now for iOS
As the network environment is becoming more complex with iPads, iPhones, iPods as well as Windows laptops, Macs and other devices requiring access, the implications for not delivering a safe on-line experience when users are out of the network is becoming ever more apparent.

If users leave the protection of the school network with supplied hardware and are not properly controlled, filtered or monitored - what they get up to on-line may seriously impact on them and ultimately the school and it’s senior management team.

Smoothwall’s Mobile Guardian ensures that the organisation’s web usage policies can be easily deployed across Windows, Mac and iOS (and soon Android) devices and that they can be rigidly enforced when they leave the safety of their home network.  Using a mix of technologies that are appropriate to the platform (such as forced proxies and local filtering) Mobile Guardian controls and logs all web use in line with the school’s policies.

As students and staff become ever more mobile with their IT Smoothwall can help you to ensure that their safety and security on-line can be maintained wherever they are.
