Lightspeed Filter

Lightspeed works both on and off campus, ensuring consistent filtering for school-managed devices used at home or in hybrid learning environments. Lightspeed Filter is positioned as a student safety and compliance solution rather than a general-purpose content filter. It is part of the broader Lightspeed Systems ecosystem, enabling centralized policy management and reporting across school networks.

How the Software Works

Lightspeed Filter deploys lightweight agents or integrates with device management platforms to monitor web traffic in real time. Administrators define filtering policies by grade, user group, or device. The system dynamically evaluates content and enforces access rules while logging activity for reporting and review.
