What is the Children’s Internet Protection Act?
July 12, 2022
Transcription
The Children’s Internet Protection Act (or CIPA) shields minors from harmful Internet content online. CIPA dictates that all K-12 schools and libraries take measures to block access to obscene and harmful content.
Incidents where students access material related to hate, drugs, extremism, crime, and violence at schools are on the rise.
While traditional security devices are the go-to solutions to enforce CIPA, a rise in encryption over the Internet is making it hard to comply, as malicious and harmful content can hide within encrypted traffic.
A complete security strategy not only provides comprehensive filtering capabilities, but also enables full visibility via SSL decryption to ensure student safety.
What’s the solution? SSL/TLS Inspection.
