Case Study: Forsyth County Schools achieves real-time threat visibility and fewer malware incidents with Malwarebytes Endpoint Security

Forsyth County Schools get an A+ in reducing risk with real-time protection

Forsyth County Schools, a large district serving over 47,000 students, needed to strengthen endpoint protection after upgrading teacher laptops and facing frequent phishing and browser-exploit attacks. Relying on Microsoft Defender left gaps and slow, end-of-day reporting that could let infections dwell for 24–48 hours, so the IT team sought faster visibility and better threat prevention.

After evaluating vendors, FCS deployed Malwarebytes Endpoint Security with tailored install packages and integrated imaging. The solution delivered real-time alerts, stronger zero‑day protection, and flexible policies for varied lab environments, cutting investigations from multiple times per day to fewer than one per week and reducing response time from days to about 15 minutes.
