Case Study: Gadsden County Public Schools secures Google Workspace with ManagedMethods

Gadsden County Public Schools - Customer Case Study

Gadsden County Public Schools, a K-12 district in Florida, faced significant cybersecurity challenges after transitioning to Google Workspace. Their small IT team lacked visibility into security threats, experiencing phishing attacks and unauthorized account access. They mistakenly believed Google's native tools provided complete security and needed a solution to protect their data and users within the shared responsibility model. This led them to seek a third-party security solution from vendor ManagedMethods.

The vendor, ManagedMethods, implemented its Cloud Monitor platform, a cloud-native security tool that uses API integrations. The solution provided immediate visibility, detected phishing attempts, and automatically disabled compromised accounts from foreign logins. The results were rapid threat remediation and peace of mind for the IT team. ManagedMethods delivered a centralized dashboard and automated policies, which allowed the small staff to secure their environment efficiently without on-premises hardware, making it a valuable investment.
