The Kentucky Department of Education faced the challenge of an outdated network that could not support growing connectivity needs for students across the state, while also contending with escalating cybersecurity threats. They partnered with Zayo Education Solutions to find a cost-effective, high-capacity, and secure broadband solution.

Zayo implemented dual resilient internet circuits, broadband connectivity with out-of-band management for all public school districts, and advanced security services including hosted firewalls and DDoS protection. The results included a 75% increase in bandwidth for the same previous cost, significantly enhanced cybersecurity defenses against billions of annual attack attempts, and a robust foundation for statewide cloud-based services that support efficient school operations.
