NETSPARK FOR SCHOOLS

KEEPING OUR CHILDREN SAFE

Unfortunately, students are frequently exposed to inappropriate and harmful online content, and at Netspark we work to ensure they are allowed to enjoy web access free of such threats.   

Students encounter pornography, nudity, and more in different media such as videos, images, and texts – even though existing web filtering solutions block certain websites through ‘blacklists’ in addition, students sometimes engage in risky behavior by sharing offensive content with their peers. At the same time, views differ regarding what is considered inappropriate content, and school administrators, teachers, and parents must also contend with ‘grey’ areas. 

Our solutions safeguard more than two million smartphones, tablets, and computers and our internet filtering technology has been adopted by more than 4,000 schools. Netspark is the official filtering solution for the Ministry of Education in Israel. Using our technology, administrators can decide what content is appropriate for students. Through Netspark’s easy-to-use administrative portal, administrators can set custom rules for websites and applications across many different content categories.

WHY BLACKLISTS JUST
DON'T CUT IT ANYMORE

Every 24 hours, there is an increase of 576,000 in the total number of websites worldwide. With our strong commitment to safeguarding our users, we understand that due to the sheer number of new websites and new content generated daily, available blacklists are an inefficient and inaccurate solution for content moderation.
  • Roughly 363.5 million domain registrations have been made as of Q1 2021
  • 576,000 New Websites Per Day
  • As of Q1 2021, there are 168.0 million .com and .net domain name registrations in the domain name base.
  • 4.5 billion people across the world contribute to online interactions.
