Case Study: Paramount School District blocks 18,579 phishing emails and saves 377 analyst hours with IRONSCALES

Paramount School District - Customer Case Study

Paramount School District, a K‑12 district in southern California serving about 15,000 students with a lean 12‑person security team, faced a sharp rise in email-based threats during the pandemic as remote learning and community network access increased phishing risk. After finding their existing Microsoft solution required lengthy manual remediation, the district evaluated and selected IRONSCALES’ AI‑driven, self‑learning email security platform to strengthen email defenses and reduce IT overhead.

IRONSCALES was deployed quickly with dedicated engineering support and began autonomously detecting and remediating threats, using customizable alert banners and a mobile app to raise user awareness. In a 90‑day period IRONSCALES remediated 18,579 emails, saved roughly 377 hours of analyst time, reportedly catches 80–90% of phishing attempts, and significantly reduced incident tickets—freeing the IT team to focus on proactive projects.
