Case Study: MSD of Mt. Vernon achieves faster response to emerging threats with Carbon Black

MSD of Mt. Vernon Responds to Emerging Threats Faster

MSD of Mt. Vernon, the K–12 school district in Mt. Vernon, Indiana, was struggling with traditional antivirus (Kaspersky) that missed advanced threats and slowed classroom machines. The district selected Carbon Black—deploying CB Defense / the Cb Predictive Security Cloud with reseller Keller Schroeder—to get a behavior-based, next‑generation antivirus that would protect servers and endpoints without degrading performance.

Carbon Black’s lightweight agent and user-friendly dashboard allowed MSD to quickly isolate and remediate incidents instead of reimaging devices, saving IT time and classroom disruption. In the six months after deployment Carbon Black stopped 398 active endpoint attacks, delivered faster, actionable threat data, and reduced resource overhead for the MSD IT team.
