Proactive Safety Monitoring Software for Threat Detection

Are you ready to revolutionize your monitoring, content filtering, and online threat detection capabilities with Senso’s safety monitoring software?

Safety monitoring solutions are essential for any school, but is your current software enough to tackle the challenge of maintaining safety and identifying risks before they become problems? Here at Senso, we know that the best way to keep schools safe is to take a proactive approach with the latest safety tools. Schools across the US are choosing Senso to support staff, help counselors, and assist in creating comprehensive threat assessments.

Traditional safety software for schools can lack the benefits of our comprehensive, proactive approach to safety. This means that threats may be identified too late, or not at all. This includes serious issues like self-harm, suicide, or even school shootings.

Schools should have all the support they need to identify and prevent these threats as early as possible. Senso’s safety monitoring software prevents access to harmful online materials and provides detailed reports on inappropriate searches or activity. It is therefore an effective early detection system for schools to add to their existing safety systems.

Identify Hidden Harms with DNS Filtering

A lot of threats and harmful ideas begin online, with a search or by accessing certain websites. Our DNS filtering provides a way to successfully filter and block restricted websites at the DNS level, in real time. This prevents the content from loading onto students’ devices and provides a log of access attempts for further investigation.

Even if students do not intend to access harmful or radicalizing content, seemingly innocent sites can link to dangerous material. DNS web filtering scans the IP address, domain, or search query alongside associated domains and URLs to identify and block automatic redirects or hidden threats.

Linguistic Filtering for Complex Risks

Threats like school shootings can result from a range of factors that combine to radicalize the individual. These factors may not seem obvious at first glance or may not contain keywords included in content filtering libraries. Therefore, a larger scale, more complex type of filtering is necessary.

Corpus Linguistics Filtering identifies threats and harmful content by analyzing online content in its context. This appreciates the rules, patterns, and differentiations of how language is commonly used, allowing filters to pick up on more complex risks. This more sophisticated approach to content filtering helps avoid false positives from students using blocked keywords with no harmful intent. The system identifies broader patterns of online activity to notify staff of potential early warning signs of dangerous thinking and action-planning.

Protecting Students with AI-Based Image Filtering

With the internet always growing and changing, it is more common than ever to accidentally dig up inappropriate image material when online. Accessing this content is harmful to children and can lead to more problematic behavior further down the line.

Real-time protection methods like Senso Blur are based on our AI image filtering algorithm to identify and immediately block and blur out selected images, without restricting regular content that students may be attempting to access innocently. This more comprehensive approach mitigates a range of risks that can make online environments harmful to students.

Assisted Monitoring with Human Review

Once filtering technology identifies and blocks a threat, the next step is to identify the source and extent of the problem. Senso’s comprehensive software provides reports and data that superintendents can use to fill out state-mandated threat assessments and pass concerns on to counselors.

To save time and avoid false positives, Senso has introduced a human review process to our school safety software. This is an in-house triage service that identifies safety issues and reports concerns to school safeguarding intervention teams. Our trained staff identify potential threats from the filtering event data and prioritizes them by urgency and relevance so schools are informed about potential threats and imminent dangers appropriately.

Is Your Current School Monitoring Software an Effective Threat Detection System?

It is vital that each school is able to protect its students and offer them the support they need before harms occur. Technology acts as an invaluable tool for school staff to cover all bases when it comes to catching risks early.
