Case Study: Colorado Springs School District 11 achieves virtually zero malware infections and saves hundreds of remediation hours with Malwarebytes

At Colorado Springs School District 11, Nothing Holds Students Back— Especially Not Malware

Colorado Springs School District 11 supports 17,000 endpoints across 60 schools and operations facilities with a small, centralized IT team. Persistent malware—PUPs, redirects, botnets introduced via USBs, and a CryptoWall outbreak—was slowing machines, disrupting teaching and forcing time‑consuming re-imaging that strained five field technicians and risked classroom downtime.

The district deployed Malwarebytes Anti‑Malware for Business (with the Management Console), starting on 350 mission‑critical machines and then rolling out to all endpoints. Weekly scans and daily console checks stopped further CryptoWall incidents, cut infected machines from dozens to virtually none, saved technicians hundreds of hours, and enabled proactive endpoint protection policies so IT staff can focus on higher‑value projects.
