ContentKeeper Implementation in Canyons School District

This case study details the implementation of ContentKeeper as a web filtering solution in Utah's Canyons School District, which serves 33,000 students. The district transitioned to ContentKeeper due to dissatisfaction with the decryption and reporting capabilities of their previous web filter. The new solution enabled seamless decryption and inspection of SSL-encrypted web traffic, allowing for accurate and timely reporting on student web activity. The implementation was particularly crucial during the shift to remote learning necessitated by the pandemic, as it allowed the district to distribute Chromebooks to students while ensuring their online safety. The case study outlines how ContentKeeper provided real-time alerts for potentially harmful searches, which helped in intervening in critical situations, thereby enhancing student safety. Additionally, the district gained insights into student engagement with their devices, aiding in justifying the investment in educational technology. The support from ContentKeeper was noted as responsive and effective, contributing to the overall success of the deployment.
