Case Study: Augusta County Public Schools achieves stronger endpoint security and reduced IT support with Faronics Layered Security

Augusta County Public Schools - Customer Case Study

Augusta County Public Schools was struggling with significant system downtime and security risks due to frequent malware infections that consumed over 60% of IT staff time. These attacks also posed a threat to sensitive student and staff data protected under FERPA and HIPAA regulations. To address these challenges, the school district turned to Faronics for a layered security solution.

Faronics implemented a three-part solution consisting of Deep Freeze, Anti-Virus, and Anti-Executable. This strategy dramatically reduced IT support requests by over 60%, eliminated infections like the Conficker worm, and ensured compliance. The integrated Faronics tools increased system availability and provided a proactive security posture, allowing the IT team to focus on critical projects instead of constantly fighting fires.
