NEW! In Cloud Monitor: Policy Enhancements

We’re thrilled to introduce our latest Cloud Monitor policy updates! We designed these enhancements to make it easier than ever for administrators to keep students safe and secure in the classroom. With smarter alerting and automation, identifying and addressing violations now takes less manual effort, allowing you to stay one step ahead of potential risks.

Admins can now choose between two flexible email alert settings: a 4-hour summary report for a broad overview or instant notifications for real-time action. Plus, with customizable email subjects and color-coded flags, prioritizing alerts based on severity or internal protocols is simpler than ever.

For even greater control, individual violations can be set to trigger immediate notifications to designated recipients, ensuring critical issues never go unnoticed.

These updates put more power in your hands, helping you create a safer, more efficient digital environment for students and staff.

NEW! In Content Filter: Allow/Block List Site Enhancements

Get ready for more exciting updates! Content Filter by ManagedMethods now gives administrators even greater control over internet access with enhanced Allow/Block list settings. These improvements make it easier than ever to improve security, protect accounts, and keep users focused in the (digital) classroom. 

With new, flexible configuration options, admins can now manage online activity by blocking specific websites using unique addresses, wildcard entries, or predefined categories. Keep in mind, blocking a domain like “google.com” would also block subdomains like mail.google.com—which is why the Allow List is key to making sure resources remain accessible without compromising security.
