Securly is a cloud-based web filtering and online safety platform specifically designed for K-12 schools and families. It provides comprehensive solutions to manage and monitor internet access, screen time, and digital safety for children on any device, from any location. The platform primarily helps educational institutions comply with regulations such as the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) by filtering inappropriate or harmful online content.
Founded in 2013 by two network security veterans with over 20 years of combined experience, Securly has grown rapidly to serve over 1,000 school districts and more than 2 million students and staff worldwide. It is recognized as one of the fastest-growing educational technology companies based in Silicon Valley.
Securly’s technology is powered by cloud-based architecture that offers scalability and flexibility in web filtering across all devices used by students at school or home. A key feature of its platform is the integration of artificial intelligence to proactively identify and alert parents and school counselors about signs of cyberbullying, self-harm, or other concerning online behaviors. This early intervention capability supports student well-being and mental health.
The platform is simple to deploy and manage, reducing administrative and IT overhead for schools, while providing detailed reports and controls accessible by both school administrators and parents. This approach enhances the overall digital safety environment for students and families alike.
In addition to web filtering, Securly offers student wellness monitoring and social emotional learning (SEL) tools to support mental health and wellbeing in the K-12 education space. The company aims to create safer digital environments where students can learn and grow with confidence and protection.
