Stay one step ahead of proxies and block bypasses before they happen

By the time students access proxy bypass sites, it’s too late. ContentKeeper stops bypass attempts before they happen using advanced proxy scoring, libraries, and filtering.

Traditional blocklists can’t keep up with AI-powered proxy circumvention. ContentKeeper uses real-time detection, performs deep content level forensics, and proactive enforcement to stop evasive sites before they compromise student safety. The autonomous engine and adaptive engine  ensures there are minimal false negatives and better and better accuracy. 

ContentKeeper knows what to look for in a proxy site and as soon as it identifies a newly published site, it scores it for suitability based on a complex model that is continuously informed by  school data, and other intelligence. If a site is flagged as a risk and has been identified it is then blocked and catalogued in the ContentKeeper proxy vault.

Issues with today's Filtering Solutions
What ContentKeeper's Proxy Detection Engine Does to Help
How It Works
Students have found ways to bypass traditional websites by hosting content that bypasses proxy filters.

Once a proxy website has been produced that can bypass a filter it can be quickly propagated and shared like wildfire in an educational environment.

AI makes it quick and easy to create new Proxy websites that bypass filters, so it's nearly impossible to stay on top of their production.
Ensures that content and websites that are delivered satisfy compliance and content requirements.

Provides real-time detection and response to the sites.

Outsmarts AI.
Identifies patterns in proxy circumvention; leverages heuristic scoring and evolving logic; proactively identifies proxy workarounds.

Even if sites are shared with peers, they are immediately shut down; catalog of sites supports all operating systems across schools.

Even with the most sophisticated tools, students and users can't bypass controls; shuts users down as they publish new sites.

How this advanced technology works

Students and others have developed a mechanism to bypass traditional proxy filters that serve to render games and inappropriate content through formerly trusted sites. 

Proxy circumvention has evolved significantly, frequently leveraging deep links within trusted cloud environments to bypass traditional filters. Effectively addressing these sophisticated delivery methods requires a multi-faceted approach. 

AI has served as a tool to accelerate the proliferation of circumvention subdomains and makes it almost impossible to keep up with the volume of sites. 

For that reason we have developed an approach that assigns a heuristic or value to a potential proxy bypass site and if the URL is above a numeric threshold then it not only is blocked for a given device, our library catalogues the site, proliferates the information across all devices to ensure rapid detection and split second response. The solution is self learning and continually increases accuracy to minimize false positives and we now have a 99% detection rate.
