Since the launch of Safernet Technologies in March of 2014, the target market has primarily been SMEs with a need for a simple yet cost effective solution that filters Internet. We have since noticed that after a beta testing phase at Rhenish Girls High School in Stellenbosch, that Schools can obtain immediate benefits from the implementation of Safernet's cloud-based web filtering.
With knowledge that schools are very price conscious meant that Safernet Technologies took a decision to discount its cloud-based DNS Web filtering product by 50% to all schools. This pricing policy also applies to any churches and NPOs.
During beta testing, Safernet Technologies installed the cloud-based DNS Web filtering solution at Rhenish Girls High School in Stellenbosch.
"We have already walked a long road with Rhenish and we knew with certainty that they would provide us with feedback on the effectiveness of our cloud-based Web filtering platform," said Brett Nattrass, co-founder Safernet Technologies.
"Both ourselves and Rhenish Girls High School noticed immediate benefits after the implementation of the Web filtering platform, such as:
* Improved internet speed for administration staff during critical times, this was due to the "free-time" policies applied on the Rhenish Network
* Virus machines where detected due to rouge Web sites being reached and precautionary virus scans where run in time
* Peace of mind that all Pornographic Material was blocked from the school
* Improved management of internet resources
* Relative low cost and simplicity of implementation of Safernet Web filtering
* Ease of use and reporting allows the school's IT administrator to constantly monitor and adjust the filtering.
"Since installing Safernet Web filtering on our network and implementing certain time constraints and policies, our internet is more stable during critical times of the day so our admin staff can work while the children can learn and not waste time on the internet. We are very happy with the simplicity and effectiveness of the product as a whole and can highly recommend it to any school, home or business," stated Angela Sarga, IT administrator.
