Net Nanny One Click Web Filtering


Web Filtering provides
settings that lets parents
choose whether to allow,
block or warn against
certain web activity, for
example access to
Adult/Mature websites.
One Click Web Filtering
makes Net Nanny easy to
use and understand.
How Web Filtering works


Net Nanny uses Patented Dynamic
Contextual Analysis to continuously analyse
content displayed on a recipient’s computer.
This method is more robust than using static
databases of URLs as it continuously checks
for objectionable content in “real time” as
users surf the internet.
URL Filtering Methods
Most competitors use just 1 and 2
1. Pre-categorised database of “good and bad” URLs
2. URL keyword analysis
–
–
Analyse address bar – eg, www.sexyladies.com, what about Essex County? – it will
also be blocked
This is NOT dynamic analysis
3. Dynamic contextual analysis - page scans
–
–
–
Analyze words/phrases on incoming page to categorise site. Net Nanny can
distinguish between “prescription drugs” vs “drug paraphernalia”
Links to and from site – porn page is likely to point to other porn
Meta-tags/keywords for browsers
Net Nanny does all 3!
Filtering of Search Terms

objectionable content, whilst permitting acceptable
videos.

capability, Net Nanny will turn it back on in real-time

how their children are representing
themselves and what personal information
they are sharing.
