BASCOM Global Internet Services, Inc, Hauppauge, NY, is an innovative software development and professional services firm specializing in security and curriculum enhancement solutions that ensure the safe and effective educational use of the Internet. Since its founding in 1996, BASCOM has produced patented security and filtering software, Internet curriculum building tools, and community building Web portals for various learning environments, including schools, community technology centers, facilities for at-risk youth (including juvenile justice), and public libraries. Additional solutions are offered to Internet service providers featuring both customer premise and centralized Internet management systems that deliver Web filtering combined with network security components and educational Web content.
 

BASCOM fills a void in a market that has been unaddressed by technology companies and overlooked by traditional education companies. BASCOM strikes a unique and innovative balance between the traditional needs of networking security professionals and the special needs of educators in learning environments tasked with integrating the Internet into their curriculum. No other company offers a software solution that combines Web enhanced curriculum building tools with classroom/program-based, educator managed Internet filtering.
