In an exciting development for educational technology, Saasyan has announced a significant enhancement to its On-Device Web Filtering solution, now providing native support for devices running Windows on ARM and Apple iOS. This upgrade is crucial as it allows schools to effectively oversee and manage the digital activities of students across a broader array of devices, including the latest Copilot+ Windows laptops and tablets, alongside popular Apple iPads and iPhones.
The Assure Suite, designed specifically for educational institutions, equips schools with an extensive toolkit aimed at ensuring online safety for students. It combines both On-Device and On-Premises Web Filtering capabilities. With this recent update, the web filtering component now fully supports the emerging Windows on ARM and iOS platforms. Within this suite, the Assure On-Device Web Filter plays a pivotal role by inspecting encrypted internet traffic, enforcing Safe Search protocols, implementing age-appropriate policies, and providing centralized reporting features. These functionalities are vital for helping schools maintain compliance and visibility within varied learning environments.
Today’s educational landscape sees schools utilizing a diverse mix of devices for classroom instruction and remote learning. To address this evolving need, Saasyan has developed AI-driven solutions that have progressively adapted, introducing support for Windows on x86 in 2023 and adding MacOS compatibility in 2024. As Windows on ARM devices gain popularity in educational settings, and as iPads and iPhones continue to be widely used, this update ensures that educational institutions can implement consistent monitoring and safeguarding practices across an increasingly diverse range of student devices.
"The expansion of support to include Windows on ARM and Apple iOS devices represents a major milestone for Saasyan, offering schools enhanced options and broader coverage," remarked Greg Margossian, the Founder and Managing Director of Saasyan. "This development reflects the growing adoption of iOS technology, the industry's shift from x86 architecture to Windows on ARM/Copilot+, and our steadfast commitment to providing solutions tailored to the unique requirements of K-12 education."
Saasyan's solutions advocate for a comprehensive, whole-school strategy to ensure online safety. This approach guarantees that students are as protected in their online interactions as they are within the physical classroom and beyond. It promotes collaboration among school leadership, well-being teams, IT personnel, educators, and parents, fostering a culture of care and accountability. By enabling schools to adhere to the eSafety Commissioner’s guidelines for robust digital safeguards, Saasyan empowers these institutions to protect their students, fulfill their duty of care, and lead the way in online safety initiatives.
