Case Study: Derry Township School District achieves granular BYOD web control with ContentKeeper

ContentKeeper Helps Secure Student Devices in a BYOD Environment

Derry Township School District, a 3,400-student district in Pennsylvania, needed better visibility into student web use, more flexible control over website access, and a way to manage internet activity on student-owned devices in its BYOD environment. The district was frustrated by a flat, all-or-nothing filter and limited reporting, so it looked for a more granular internet filtering and web security solution from ContentKeeper Technologies.

ContentKeeper Technologies provided its internet filtering and web security system, giving the district detailed reporting, policy control by user group and grade level, and the ability to enforce web-use settings on student-owned laptops, tablets, and smartphones through its BYOD certificate-based approach. As a result, Derry Township gained stronger insight into daily student activity, could selectively control social media and other web content, and improved student safety and on-task behavior across school and personal devices.
