■ What Web Filtering Measures Are Required Under the GIGA School Initiative?

　The installation of educational devices is scheduled
to be completed in all local governments by the end of Reiwa 5, and while
there is a need to further promote the use of these devices, ensuring the appropriate use of the Internet is also a critical issue in schools and educational
settings. In particular, when it comes to configuring
content filtering, many local governments likely struggle to find
appropriate operational methods that balance safety and convenience.

　At the seminar to be held on Thursday, August 29, we will review various challenges
faced in schools and educational settings and introduce “i-FILTER,” a web
filtering product designed to promote the safe use of educational devices
. We hope you’ll take advantage of this opportunity.
