Case Study: Urbana School District 116 recovers from ransomware with Skyward

Urbana School District 116 recovers from ransomware with Skyward, restoring data in a couple of days

Urbana School District 116, a school district in Illinois, faced a severe ransomware attack that encrypted its files and threatened a major data loss and financial crisis. The district relied on its student information and ERP software from vendor Skyward, which was hosted off-site by Skyward's preferred partner, ISCorp.

Skyward provided critical disaster recovery assistance by immediately contacting ISCorp to restore the district's backed-up data. This solution allowed the district to recover with only a couple of days of data re-entry lost, avoiding a potentially years-long recreation process. The vendor's support ensured Urbana School District 116 could resume normal operations quickly and now has real-time data backups for continuous protection and peace of mind.
