Case Study: Boone County Schools strengthens 24/7 protection and simplifies threat response with Huntress

A School District Refuses to Learn About Threats the Hard Way

Boone County Schools, a Kentucky district serving about 20,000 students across 28 campuses, needed a more proactive way to protect student and staff data with a lean IT team and limited time. After a security review and penetration testing, the district turned to Huntress for Managed EDR and Managed ITDR to strengthen monitoring, reduce risk, and better support a small internal team.

Huntress provided 24/7 SOC-backed monitoring and response, centralized endpoint and identity protection, and flexible risk-based coverage that let Boone County separate staff and student protection based on need and budget. As a result, the district improved after-hours security, caught threats like suspicious VPN activity and credential-related issues earlier, saved time on triage and remediation, and gained clearer reporting to build leadership support for cybersecurity investments.
