Managed IT Services for Education
Technology continues to gain importance in educational settings as an effective teaching and learning tool. Technology is used extensively by administrators, teachers, and students in support of school operations and learning.
This growing importance presents several challenges for schools, including maintaining professional solutions amidst budget constraints and managing more complex systems.

IT Support and Cybersecurity in Education
IT support enhances the experience of teachers, students, IT staff and administrators. Using managed services often allow schools to save money on hiring internal staff to care for cybersecurity or offer network support, and IT support can increase productivity because experts can resolve computer issues quickly. Educational institutions also face challenges with data security. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has reported an increase in attacks against K-12 educational institutions, including attacks that slow or disable computer systems, disrupt online learning, or steal sensitive data. These attacks often involve ransomware, phishing emails, and exploiting vulnerabilities in end-of-life software. Identity theft, fraud, and harassment are often the result when a data breach occurs.
