The web gateway appliance enables the district to filter all web site access for safe surfing, preserving the integrity of the internet as a valuable and educational information resource, scan all inbound and outbound interactions including encrypted web traffic for viruses and other malware, offensive content and more; and reduce and minimize costs involved in administration, updates, management and reporting.

Paul Pominville, technology director, Howell Public School District, said: Webwasher makes it possible for us to protect our students and staff from malicious Web-based threats. It’s easy to manage and it works. It does exactly what we need it to without tedious administration or tweaking.
