Case Study: Elmbrook Schools gains 24x7 cybersecurity peace of mind with Red Canary

School district overcomes K-12 cybersecurity challenges with Red Canary

Elmbrook Schools, a K-12 public school system in Brookfield and Elm Grove, Wisconsin, faced heightened cybersecurity concerns after a system-wide cyber incident in the summer of 2022. With a tight budget, limited security staff expertise, and no 24x7 coverage, the district looked for a managed detection and response partner that could work with its existing Microsoft 365 suite and other security tools.

Elmbrook Schools chose Red Canary for integrations with Microsoft 365 security suite and Google Workspace, coverage across on-premises, cloud, and identity environments, and 24x7 monitoring, detection, and response. Red Canary quickly proved its value by confirming a genuine threat during implementation and another alert just three days into onboarding, giving the district faster response, clearer analysis, automated playbooks, and round-the-clock peace of mind.
