Solution targets student safety

Jamf Safe Internet, said to be a comprehensive content filtering and web security solution optimised for education, is now available on Chromebook.

"Jamf Safe Internet is designed to help schools protect students from harmful content on the internet, inappropriate websites and phishing attacks," says Jamf, "while also allowing admins to enforce acceptable-use policies in a seamless way."

Adds Suraj Mohandas, vice president of strategy, Jamf: "With technology now firmly embedded in the student experience, there is a growing need for digital safety across all devices to eliminate cyberattacks and prevent students from accessing unsafe content. Jamf combines best-in-class network threat prevention and a vast content-filtering database to block unsafe and malicious content so that students can safely learn online from anywhere.”

The company recently acquired Wandera: a content filtering provider with a long pedigree of protecting users in government, healthcare, and enterprise. Jamf Safe Internet is underpinned by this technology and expertise, says the company.
