Case Study: K-12 School District achieves real-time threat detection and rapid incident response with Graylog

K-12 School District - Customer Case Study

The K-12 School District, serving roughly 1,900 students with a 250‑person staff, faced rapid technology growth (Chromebooks, cloud apps, virtualized servers) and limited IT resources, which left them vulnerable to cyber security and data-privacy incidents. To gain fast, cost‑effective log collection and incident investigation, the district implemented Graylog Enterprise.

Graylog Enterprise delivered centralized log management, real‑time dashboards, parameterized search workflows and access controls that let admins drill from a domain‑controller widget into raw logs, quickly trace authentication failures to misconfigured Meraki access points, and restore student access. Graylog also enabled a 24x7 network‑health dashboard and correlation alerts for configuration changes and anomalous logins, speeding threat hunting, shortening time‑to‑resolution, and providing measurable, ongoing visibility and protection.
