What is Securly?

Securly is Yukon Public Schools new cloud based web filter that allows us to reduce our web filtering costs and continue to grow the number of devices and bandwidth of our network without the additional infrastructure costs. In addition, Securly provides several new value-added features that align with our strategic goals and mission in providing the necessary technology tools to students in a safe learning environment and expanding those tools to our parents through activity reporting and when devices are taken home. In addition, Securly continues to allow us to provide differentiated filtering where teachers and staff are able to override the filter for educational purposes while still filtering students as required by law. Features:. Chromebook Filtering. Zero-touch filtering of 1:1 take home Chromebooks using a Chrome extension that takes seconds to deploy. No proxying. No SSL certificates. 1:1 iPads, Windows, & Macs. Support for any heterogeneous mix of 1:1 devices including iPads, Windows, Macs, and Android/Nexus tablets. Take Home Policies. Location based policies for take-home 1:1 devices when the devices are off school premises. Cyber Bullying and Self Harm Detection Securly is the first product to audit student posts on Facebook, Twitter and Google+. Securly employs cutting edge natural language processing algorithms to flag activity on these networks that might be indicative of cyber bullying or self harm.
