Episode 1: Tom Talks Tech

[Smoothwall_Luke]

We’re excited to launch Smoothwall’s brand new video series: Tom Talks Tech

Watch Tom Newton, our VP of Integration, as he uses his 20+ years of experience in digital safeguarding to disentangle some of the technical problems many of you may encounter while trying to keep your students safe online.

Episode 1 sees Tom bust some common myths about real-time web filtering:

“Most filter vendors offer real-time content filtering”
“Traditional filters are good enough”
“The biggest problem with non-real-time filters is delay”
“There’s no regulatory requirement for a filter to be real-time”

How much truth is there behind these statements? 🤔 Head to YouTube to find out! now ➡️ https://hubs.la/Q03k11DN0

Got a topic you’d like Tom to cover in a future episode? Let us know in the thread below.

I would like to see Tom talk about smoothwall roadmaps? I haven't seen a roadmap on your website. Something like this would be really cool and worth while. https://usehalo.com/haloitsm/roadmap/

Im a frequent checker of the release notes page, but I think a roadmap would really help your customers to know whats coming in the future, which all us nerds in IT love...
