Lightspeed Content Filtering Service

NERIC uses Lightspeed Relay (new name: Lightspeed Filter) for content filtering to help school districts comply with the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) in an effective, cost-efficient way. The service uses a sophisticated system of rules and categories, geared toward the K-12 environment to help ensure computer users cannot access inappropriate material on the internet. The service typically includes separate internet profiles for teachers and students, so the “teacher” or “staff” groups have less stringent blocks.
