Schools are no longer just institutions for learning—they’ve become prime targets for cybercriminals. From ransomware attacks to data breaches, K-12 school districts across the U.S. are under siege, facing increasingly sophisticated threats. Without a solid cybersecurity strategy, these incidents can disrupt education, cost millions, and compromise sensitive student data.
That’s where Strategic Resilience comes in.
Strategic Resilience is a consultative IT and cybersecurity service designed to bridge the gap between traditional Break/Fix IT support and comprehensive Managed Security Services. Our mission? To keep school districts secure, prepared, and resilient in the face of evolving cyber threats.
Instead of reacting to cybersecurity incidents after they happen, we proactively identify, prevent, and mitigate risks, ensuring schools stay ahead of hackers.
We offer a comprehensive, cost-effective solution for school districts struggling with cybersecurity demands and compliance regulations. Here’s how we help:
We provide strategic IT guidance to align your school’s technology infrastructure with long-term goals, helping you maximize efficiency and security.
Cyberattacks can bring school operations to a halt. We ensure your district is prepared for disruptions, helping you maintain operations even in the face of cyber incidents or system failures.
Cybercriminals look for weaknesses. We identify and address vulnerabilities before hackers can exploit them, using penetration testing and proactive risk assessments.
We implement scheduled IT “Fire Alarms” to keep cybersecurity awareness top of mind for school staff. These simulated threat scenarios train and prepare employees to respond effectively to potential attacks.
Many school districts struggle to balance cybersecurity with regulatory compliance, often lacking the resources or expertise to stay ahead of threats. While it’s easy to deploy individual security tools, ensuring they work seamlessly together is a complex challenge.
Strategic Resilience offers a unified security approach, helping school districts stay compliant while strengthening their overall security posture—without the hefty price tag of building an in-house cybersecurity team.
Cyberattacks on schools are escalating at an alarming rate. The numbers don’t lie:
