Intelligent Filtering
for Education & K12

The SmoothWall Guardian Web Filter is the intelligent and cost effective content filtering solution for education, K12 and libraries. Available as a dedicated web filtering appliance or as part of a UTM solution, the Guardian web filter uses Dynamic Content Analysis™ technology to accurately examine the content, context and construction of every web page.

This pioneering filtering technique reliably protects students and school networks from all undesirable content, while still allowing open access to online learning resources without overblocking. CIPA Compliance is achieved with just one click.


About SmoothWall
The Company set out in 2001 with SmoothWall Express, a network firewall which is now the perimeter protection of choice for over a million networks. Today the company offers a suite of commercial solutions including the award-winning Guardian web filter (developed from our open source web filter DansGuardian), firewalls and UTM appliances.

Guardian web filters are compliant with both CIPA and HIPAA and certified by Becta in the UK. Blocklists incorporate IWF CAIC database content.
