Lenovo and Netsweeper set a new standard for digital safety in education  

Lenovo, a global leader in edtech, has announced its partnership with Netsweeper, an advanced digital safety solution and web filter. This offering is now part of Lenovo’s Education Software suite of best-in-class education solutions.   

Netsweeper uses AI-based content categorization to recognize and block suspicious and inappropriate traffic on any network, including home and public Wi-Fi networks used by students and teachers. It also enables school IT teams to limit access to potentially distracting applications and sites, including social media and streaming platforms.   

The solution extends beyond web filtering to help schools support mental health and physical safety for students. Netsweeper monitors students’ digital activities during school to flag concerning searches and conversations that may indicate cyberbullying, self-harm, or other mental health and safety considerations.  

Education IT leaders can manage multiple sites on Netsweeper through a single interface and delegate administration as needed. The software also includes advanced logging, reporting, and analytics tools to give IT leadership a clear picture of Netsweeper adoption, usage, and more.  

“Netsweeper is an exciting addition to the Lenovo Education Software portfolio. As one of the most accurate and feature-rich web filters in the industry, it will help our customers effortlessly build safer digital environments for their students, which is always a top priority,” said Dan Verwolf, Lenovo Director of Education Software. “Web filtering is something every school has, but not everyone gets as much value from their web filters as they should be. Netsweeper brings digital safety to a higher level.”
