Digital Hide and Seek: How to Stop Students Slipping Past Your Filter

Tuesday 20th May 2025 | 3pm - 4pm GMT

A new wave of fast-moving, ever-changing proxy anonymisers are helping students to sneak past even the strongest web filters undetected, allowing them access to websites they shouldn’t see.

Join Smoothwall’s VP of Unification, Tom Newton, for a focused, practical session where you’ll see exactly how these tactics work and how real-time filtering helps you spot and stop them before they become a problem.

What you'll learn:

• Why traditional blocklists are falling behind and how fast-moving proxy tools are exposing the cracks
• Real examples of how students are bypassing filters today and why typical setups aren't catching them
• Why real-time, content-aware filtering is essential and how it changes the game for IT teams
• How Smoothwall Filter blocks even the most obscure anonymisers - before they even become a risk
