Case Study: Lyon County School District achieves granular, high-speed web filtering with ContentKeeper Technologies

Lyon County School District Finds a Superior Web Filtering Solution in ContentKeeper

Lyon County School District, a 9,000-student district in rural Nevada, needed a faster, more flexible web filtering solution that could handle SSL traffic, let staff control specific content within social media sites, and provide reliable support. After struggling with four previous systems and long delays for website changes and technical help, the district turned to ContentKeeper Technologies for a better Internet filtering and monitoring platform.

With ContentKeeper Technologies, the district gained very granular policy control, the ability to block or allow specific features inside sites like Facebook, Craigslist, and LinkedIn, and scalable SSL decryption support at 10 Gbps with no latency. IT staff can now recategorize sites in seconds and resolve requests almost immediately, while support responds in minutes. The installation was completed in a day, and the district reported that people were “ecstatic” with the improved service and flexibility.
