Vericept Monitor
Ensure compliance, data privacy, and acceptable use with unparalleled visibility into Internet use and content
Through a strategic partnership, Lightspeed Systems offers Vericept Monitor, a complementary solution for schools looking to detect
inappropriate Internet activity and content. Using unparalleled intelligent content analysis, Vericept Monitor enforces network
acceptable use policies (AUP) in order to provide a safe learning environment for students and staff. Combining Vericept Monitor
with Total Traffic Control gives school networks unparalleled control of sensitive data and web activity.
Benefits
As more and more inappropriate content is available on the Internet and as rogue protocols continue to multiply, it is increasingly
difficult to maintain a safe school environment. Unfortunately, point protocol blocking solutions are no longer enough. Vericept Monitor
offers innovative content detection to give school security teams the visibility and proof-positive evidence necessary to ensure safe
Internet usage.
Offers visibility into communications - Ineffective visibility to Internet communications such as instant messaging, chat rooms, social
networking sites, blogs, and peer-to-peer traffic can put a school at risk of data breaches, hostile workplace litigation, downloads of
copyrighted materials, or even worse—harm to students, faculty, and staff. Vericept Monitor exceeds keyword searches and pattern-matching
by reading the content, understanding the context, and analyzing the structure of all Internet-based communication and attachments,
regardless of protocol or channel.
Helps meet federal regulations - Vericept Monitor is uniquely designed to protect school communities. It complies with federal regulations
such as the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) and the Family Education Right to Privacy Act (FERPA) and supports federally mandated
eDiscovery rules.
Provides proactive network security - Gaining visibility to inappropriate patterns of online behavior through the implementation of
intelligent content monitoring will allow school districts to preempt and prevent online threats to an institution’s network security,
bandwidth performance, and Acceptable Use Policies—reducing the threats of legal and financial exposure.
Integrates with Total Traffic Control for enhanced network
insight – When used together, Total Traffic Control and
Vericept Monitor provide airtight content filtering through a
combination of in-line and off-line inspections where Vericept's
deep, off-line discoveries (particularly anonymous proxies used
to bypass the content filter) are fed back into Lightspeed's
database for real-time control. Further, Vericept adds web-based
email archiving to Lightspeed’s enterprise email and
message archiving capabilities.
