KyberPulse monitors student browsing for safety signals — self-harm, cyberbullying, violence, and substance abuse.
How It Works
KyberPulse analyzes search queries and browsing patterns in real-time. When it detects keywords or patterns associated with student safety concerns, it creates an alert.
Alert Categories
- Self-Harm — Searches related to suicide, self-injury, eating disorders
- Cyberbullying — Patterns indicating a student is being bullied or is bullying others
- Violence — Searches for weapons, school violence, threats
- Substance Abuse — Drug-related searches, vaping, alcohol
Alert Severity
- Critical — Immediate attention required (self-harm, violence threats). Triggers instant notification.
- High — Concerning pattern detected. Review within the same day.
- Medium — Worth monitoring but not urgent.
What Happens When an Alert Fires
- The alert appears in the KyberPulse dashboard
- Configured recipients receive an email notification
- The alert includes the student identifier, search query or URL, timestamp, and category
- No page content is stored — only the URL and metadata
Important
KyberPulse is a tool to assist trained staff — it does not replace professional counselors or threat assessment teams. Always follow your district's established protocols for student safety concerns.
