Harpeth Hall School Terminates Securly Filtering Partnership to Implement Lightspeed Filter™

NASHVILLE, TN. — The technology department leadership at Harpeth Hall School — a distinguished private school in Nashville, Tennessee — recently elected to terminate their Securly contract in favor of implementing Lightspeed Filter, a multi-OS cloud filtering and monitoring solution released this year.

Harpeth Hall School Director of Technology Justin Dover shared why his Securly deployment failed, how Lightspeed Systems® has helped the school’s 1:1 initiative, and other details in a new case study, “After ‘Disaster’ Securly Deployment, Lightspeed Systems Saves the Day With Hassle-Free Off-Site Filtering & Powerful Reporting.”

There are more devices in K-12 schools today than ever before, but IT departments need to maintain control of those devices to keep students safe and focused on learning. The cloud-based, multi-OS Lightspeed Filter eliminates the need for multiple systems to filter, monitor and manage school devices with features for granular user activity reporting; content filtering, including SSL sites, with flexible policies; real-time suspicious activity alerts; and geolocation for lost and stolen devices. And all these tools are available in a single, streamlined UI.

Harpeth Hall School implemented Lightspeed Filter last June to approximately 750 student Windows devices as well as about 150 staff devices. Thanks to Smart Agents — Lightspeed’s proprietary, on-device filtering agents, which also decrypt SSL traffic — Harpeth Hall students get a safe online experience everywhere they take their devices.

“We implemented Lightspeed Filter on hundreds of student computers with no issues in three months. That is a massive win in my book!” Dover said. “Lightspeed now provides excellent filtering and reporting, no matter if [devices are] on or off campus.”
