1. COLUMBIA SCHOOL DISTRICT WEB FILTERING

2. June 2007 We decided to enter into a 3 year contract with Secure Computing (N2H2) for Web filtering services because I did not believe that AT&T was going to have what we needed in time for school to start (Aug 2007) The 3 year was a 3 for 2 deal. (Cost about $3.00 per computer per year)

3. What CSD Demanded Ability to filter by groups (teachers, students, office and administrators) Ability to whitelist sites quickly. Ability to allow users to easily request site reviews. Ability to design a system that was difficult to beat. (Integration of filter with other security components)

8. PROS 1.I am not at the mercy of AT&T 2.New filter sites updated every night 3.Update deployment is simple 4.Comprehensive Reporting 5.Ability to filter by, IP Address group or by Active Directory groups. 6.Proxy server method reduces network traffic. 7.Easy for users to request reviews. 8.Tech Support is OUTSTANDING!!!

9. CONS Not a piece of cake to install the Linux server applications. Recompiles Squid. Configuration of the manager was not very intuitive for me. Instructions were not very helpful. Presumed that the installer would understand the terms that were not used in the conventional sense.
