Case Study: Large Public School District strengthens cybersecurity and stops ransomware threats with Rapid7

Rapid7 Strengthens Local School System Against Cyber Threats and Breaches

A Large Public School District in the United States faced a ransomware attack that exposed major gaps in its cybersecurity defenses, including the lack of real-time threat detection, SIEM capabilities, and adequate security staffing. With strict budget limits and compliance requirements, the district needed an affordable, comprehensive solution from Rapid7 to better protect sensitive student and staff data.

Rapid7 implemented its Managed Threat Complete (MTC) package, combining managed SIEM and vulnerability management with continuous monitoring, proactive threat detection, and ongoing support. The results included a significantly improved security posture, smoother incident response, and enough confidence in the service to renew and expand the engagement with a higher asset count.
