FCC CYBERSECURITY PILOT — FUNDING IS LANDING NOW
Got your Cybersecurity Pilot funding letter? Put it to work.
The FCC's $200M Schools & Libraries Cybersecurity Pilot selected 645 schools and districts, with funding decisions arriving through 2026 — up to $13.60 per student per year for three years. The pilot covers four categories, and they map directly to what we do. Not a pilot participant? The same four categories are still the right roadmap for your district.
Endpoint protection
Managed EDR on staff and student devices, deployed and watched by our SOC.
Identity protection & authentication
MFA rollout and Microsoft 365 hardening — the controls attackers test first.
Monitoring, detection & response
24/7 managed monitoring with humans who call you when it matters.
Advanced / next-generation firewalls
Assessment-driven firewall and network hardening with your existing vendor or ours.
Pilot details per fcc.gov/cybersecurity-pilot-program. We help districts scope, implement, and operate services in these categories.
Why districts call us
Districts are a top target
Student records, payroll, and lean IT teams make K-12 one of the most attacked sectors — bots scan everyone, equally.
One-person IT shops
Most districts run security off the side of a desk. We take the always-on parts off your plate and hand you the rest as a ranked list.
Insurers and auditors are raising the bar
No MFA, no EDR, no policy? Cyber-insurance applications get denied and premiums spike. We get you to "yes" with evidence.
What we do for districts
Start with an assessment or jump straight to managed protection — every service has a published price on our main site.
District security assessment
150+ controls checked against CIS and NIST, written up in plain English your board and insurer can read.
24/7 managed protection
SOC-backed monitoring, detection and response sized for district budgets — per-user pricing, no surprise invoices.
Microsoft 365 hardening
MFA, conditional access, and mailbox rules locked down — where most district incidents actually start.
Email security + staff awareness
Filtering plus monthly phishing simulations, because staff inboxes are the front door.
