Bess Internet Filtering by N2H2

The Most Effective Filtering Available
Bess filtering software works with a wide variety of implementations to meet the needs of schools and libraries, and each one is fully CIPA-compliant. Every Bess product uses the categorized filtering database recognized as the most effective available.

The Features and Functionality You Need
Bess delivers high performance global filtering with your choice of centralized or remote administration and the ability to customize block and allow lists. Depending on your operating system, Bess can also deliver powerful features like:

  • Authorized Override
  • Delegated Administration
  • Web-Based User Interface
  • Custom Categories
  • Monitor Only & Soft Block
  • Filter by IP, IP range, user or group
  • Schedule-based filtering
  • Reporting
  • Central Cluster management
  • Block and allow file types (e.g. Mp3)

Easy to Use, and Easy to Work With
Bess software is designed to make your job easier, not more complex. Unlike some solutions which charge extra for "premium" categories or special features, a Bess subscription includes N2H2's entire filtering list as well as every feature available to your particular installation. And with Bess, support, upgrades and multiple server installations are all provided at no additional cost.

 
It's Official - N2H2 Has Most Effective Filtering List!
Two recent independent studies – one conducted for the Department of Justice by eTesting Labs (PDF, 232 KB), the other a Kaiser Foundation Study (PDF, 479 KB) published in the Journal of the American Medical Association – confirm what hundreds of N2H2 customers have known all along. N2H2 delivers the highest quality filtering available.

Unbiased eTesting Labs report commissioned by DOJ
In this original and completely independent study (PDF, 232 KB) done for the U.S. Department of Justice, N2H2 was found to have a "Correct Blocking Ratio" of 98%. Unlike a later eTesting Labs study (paid for by another filtering company who set the "ground-rules" and elected to not include N2H2) this original study is the most honest comparison of all major filtering providers.

Report in prestigious journal again confirms N2H2's effectiveness
In December 2002 the Journal for the American Medical Association published a Kaiser Foundation study (PDF, 479 KB) on the effectiveness of all the major filtering products. Once again the conclusion was "N2H2 was the best at blocking pornography"! N2H2 also rated near the top of this study in recognizing and allowing access to useful medical information that can sometimes be blocked by less-effective filtering products.

The best filters have the best lists
Why is list quality so important? Every filter uses a database, or list, of URLs that are rated and categorized under headings such as "Porn", "Hate", "Sports", "Entertainment" etc. The filter uses this list to determine which sites the user can access. The better the quality of the list, the better the quality of the filtering provided.

A filtering list of lesser quality may still block plenty of sites, but it will also either let more inappropriate content through, block appropriate content, or do both. The result of using a less-effective filtering product is more requests for help from users, and worse, more access allowed to offensive and possibly dangerous content.

 
 
CIPAThe Proven Leader
Over 40% of all schools in the U.S. that have chosen to filter Internet access have chosen N2H2. Why? N2H2's easy-to-use, high-quality filtering enables educators to concentrate on educating students.

CIPA Compliant
As of July 1, 2001, The Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) requires that any school receiving federal E-rate funds must have a filtering solution in place. Using N2H2's fully CIPA compliant Internet filtering will help protect your E-rate funding status, while protecting your students by delivering a safer Web experience.

Trusted To Protect Over 16 Million Students!
Available both in an easy-to-use turn-key system and powerful software plug-ins, N2H2's Bess® Internet filtering is trusted by more schools to protect more students than any other product. Whichever solution you choose, you'll be getting the highest quality filtering available.

 
 
Public libraries are the key to providing equal information-access to every individual in a given community. The Internet provides access to information far beyond the confines of the physical library. Unfortunately, the quest for information that has merit and value is sometimes derailed by the intrusion of blatantly objectionable material. This is especially true when it comes to children using the Internet.

Links to pornography, graphic violence or illegal information are just a few examples of search results that are a far cry from the child's initial interest. Needless to say, the viewing of this material may be harmful and generate a lasting impression for some children. The prospect of an individual losing Internet privileges by unintentionally violating the library's Acceptable Use Policy, or worse, creating a potential liability issue are all compelling reasons to find a solution to this problem.

N2H2's Internet filtering solutions enable libraries to provide the most efficient and useful Internet service available to the community. N2H2's products deliver the flexibility to choose exactly which content to filter based on your library's Acceptable Use Policy. You also have the ability to offer different levels of filtering depending on the locations of your workstations.

Whether you are looking to filter 1 or 1000 workstations, N2H2 is the #1 selected solution to meet any size network. With millions of users worldwide, we are the largest server-based, educationally oriented filtering service on the market today.
