What K-12 Institutions Are Up Against

Cybercriminals target schools for their valuable data, viewing districts as easy targets due to limited IT and cybersecurity resources. With escalating ransomware, phishing, and data breaches, districts are under pressure to stay compliant, avoid penalties, and protect their community—all while managing the daily demands of maintaining a secure and reliable digital environment.

Prime Target for Cyberattacks

Schools are attractive to cybercriminals due to valuable data, limited resources, and perceived weaker defenses.

Resource Limitations

Tight budgets often prevent districts from investing in the IT infrastructure and security measures needed to defend against modern threats.

Compliance Obligations

Schools must meet strict data privacy standards which demand ongoing audits and resource-intensive compliance efforts.

Complex IT Infrastructure

Managing diverse systems, devices, and applications in schools creates security and operational challenges that strain IT teams.

I would encourage any organization to partner with M.A. Polce."

North Syracuse Central School District Director of Technology

"We started with Polce by having the company monitor some of our key systems. That monitoring service provided peace of mind, and in addition, we ended up having Polce provide some remote and on-site troubleshooting for some of those key systems. It was great to have expertise we did not have in-house. Polce staff are very easy to work with, friendly, and willing to assist in any way. The main reason I would recommend M.A. Polce to another organization is because of the people. Willing to help and always ready to do so.”
