Case Study: Southern Utah County School District improves cybersecurity posture with SecurityMetrics Pulse Services

Southern Utah County School District identifies threats in 1 month with SecurityMetrics

Southern Utah County School District, a small district with only one IT professional managing all technology for four schools and a district office, faced significant cybersecurity challenges. With a flat, non-segmented network and a limited budget, they needed a low-cost solution to improve their security posture, identify threats, and gain expert guidance without straining their resources. They partnered with vendor SecurityMetrics to implement their Pulse Security Services.

SecurityMetrics provided the district with their Pulse Platform, which offered a single-view tool for scanning assets and identifying vulnerabilities. Their expert threat analysts monitored the network full-time, providing real-time guidance and a prioritized pathway to remediate issues. Within the first month, SecurityMetrics helped patch and reconfigure multiple threat vectors, from the firewall to bus scheduling software. The solution gave the resource-strapped IT manager peace of mind and a long-term cybersecurity partner.
