"Educational institutions, such as Poway USD, need dependable Web filtering solutions to protect their networks, comply with federal regulations and efficiently manage bandwidth to ensure productivity," said Steve Yin, vice president of Global Sales and Marketing at St. Bernard, in a prepared statement.

According to St. Bernard, the iPrism Web filter works with demanding applications, such as anti-virus software, and comes in a variety of models designed to meet specific organizational needs.
