Case Study: Calcasieu Parish School Board achieves unified endpoint visibility and faster threat response with Cybereason

Calcasieu Parish School Board - Customer Case Study

Calcasieu Parish School Board, the 5th largest school district in Louisiana with nearly 40,000 endpoints, faced limited IT security capacity, a complex and changing environment, and an on‑prem BitDefender deployment (12 servers) that lacked EDR/context and left alerts uncorrelated. When renewing protection they evaluated multiple vendors and selected Cybereason to gain the deeper visibility and incident prioritization the district needed.

Cybereason deployed cloud‑based detection servers, the MalOp™ Detection Engine and Cybereason Managed Detection and Response (MDR), eliminating the 12 on‑prem servers and consolidating the security stack under a single pane of glass. Cybereason’s solution provided end‑to‑end attack context, let analysts detect behaviors BitDefender missed, reduced false positives, improved response times for a seven‑person team defending 40,000 endpoints, and materially cut investigation time—giving the district greater confidence that incidents are being caught and remediated.
