E-Safety Solutions Broadband4 offers filtering and monitoring fully compliant with The Prevent Duty – UK Government Advice surrounding the prevention of people being drawn into terrorism. Steve Jones (Managing Director) E-Safety is a key concern for schools and parents alike, so the Broadband4 service is delivered alongside an award winning, fully accredited filtering solution from Lightspeed Systems. Broadband4’s Lightspeed powered filtering system provides complete granular control over filtering right down to an individual user level. By connecting to your schools Active Directory (or OpenDirectory/LDAP), our filters are able to determine the identity of all logged in users. Once the identity is known filtering rules specific to that user can be applied. Most schools opt to tailor filtering to individual student or year groups, but it is possible to apply rules to individual students should the need arise. Recent UK Government Guidelines set out a school’s obligation under the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015 surrounding internet monitoring and content filtering within a school. One of the key requirements is the reporting of internet activity down to an individual user level. Broadband4’s Lightspeed Filtering platform which is included as standard on all our connections, is fully compliant with the Prevent Duty meaning your school is too. Broadband4’s commitment to e-
MyCloud Backup Secure and Compliant offsite backup is fast becoming mandatory in schools and other educational establishments. Ensuring your data is kept safe and looked after by a reputable organisation is very important. With MyCloud Backup from Broadband4 you can be sure your data is fully encreypted and kept secure within our UK Datacentres. Ensuring your school’s important data is safe and secure is vital. As the number of devices grows, so does the amount of data produced and help on these devices and on network servers. From SIMS Data to course work, ensuring that the school has a reliable backup is hugely important. As part of our MyCloud School Portfolio, Broadband4 offer high capacity offsite backup services and currently protect in excess of 100TB of school data. Your school’s data is backed up nightly after hours, where only the changed portions of files are transmitted. This ensures fast data backup and efficient use of storage. All our data storage servers are UK based and are held inside our dedicated Broadband4 MyCloud School network. Your school’s data is encrypted using 256 bit AES encryption before it is transmitted to our secure servers. It remains encrypted whilst “at rest” on our servers and can only be decrypted using the correct key. All our data is replicated to a secondary data centre location as standard, ensuring your data is kept safe in a secondary UK Data centre location. Should the need arise, data can be retrieved either via your internet connection or sent on an encrypted Hard Drive directly to site where it can be restored. MyCloud Backup is a true “set and forget” solution, eradicating forgotten or missed backups, caused by tapes not being changed. Backups are also background scanned automatically to ensure data is intact. Any issues trigger another backup of the file to ensure the data is safe. Every day a nominated individual (or group of individuals) will receive email confirmation that the last nights backup jobs have completed successfully. Backups are also pro-actively monitored by our Network Operations Centre (NOC) team, who will take corrective action, in the unlikely event a backup should fail to complete. All Broadband4 data centre facilities are a minimum of Tier 2 rated (with some being Tier 4), will all necessary safeguards in place to ensure the physical safety of your data and the hardware on which it resides. The MyCloud Backup infrastructure is wholly owned by Broadband4 and we never sub-contract out the support or maintenance of our platform. Access to our data centres is strictly controlled and maintained by a dedicated team of individuals. As more and more schools deploy Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) solutions, or allow the take home use of school owned technology, the need to ensure the safe “off network” use of these devices is very important. The Lightspeed Systems Mobile filter ensures that all devices adhere to the school’s filtering policy, no matter what internet connection they are connected to, anywhere in the world. With the latest trend towards secure (SSL) access to websites, common search engines such as Google and Yahoo are encrypting traffic to their services. Whilst this is good from a user perspective, encrypting search traffic does make it difficult for web filters to analyse search content. Broadband4’s Lightspeed Systems Web Filter utilises techniques to analyse encrypted SSL traffic to ensure that search queries are fully logged and a filtered accordingly, whilst ensuring traffic which needs to remain secure (e.g. banking) is kept as so.
