Cybersecurity is more important than ever in today’s digital world, with technology having a significant impact on our day-to-day lives, some good and some bad. But while tech has made a lot of things simpler and easier, it has also created opportunities for bad actors.
Amidst this atmosphere, cybersecurity has become especially important for charter schools and small businesses. That is where Buzz Cybersecurity‘s expertise lies, with the company having over ten years of experience providing expert solutions to protect sensitive data, compliance, and hands-off IT management.
Buzz Cybersecurity
As a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP), Buzz Cybersecurity specializes in protecting charter schools and small businesses from online threats. Their experts understand today’s cyber threats and know how to deal with them effectively. Buzz Cybersecurity compares its role as an MSSP to that of police officers stepping in to mitigate critical threats, with their goal being to provide comprehensive cybersecurity to keep things running smoothly.
Buzz Cybersecurity is dedicated to protecting sensitive data, and it understands how important it is to prevent valuable information from being compromised. They provide professional and seamless IT management for their clients.
For charter schools, Buzz Cybersecurity streamlines student enrollment to make it more efficient and eliminate the risk of human error.
“We partnered with Buzz Cybersecurity six years ago after facing ongoing challenges with our previous IT provider. Before Buzz came on board, we dealt with persistent technical issues, including phishing attacks, slow network speeds, frequent phone disconnections, unreliable Wi-Fi, and daily computer problems,” says Chris Shockley. “Since then, the Buzz team has not only resolved all of these issues but has also taken proactive steps to automate our enrollment process — an essential function that is critical to our school’s operations and success. The performance and security of our IT systems directly impacts the success of our students, and we needed an IT partner capable of scaling with the speed and efficiency required. Buzz Cybersecurity has proven to be that trusted partner.”
Exploring the Problem of Cyber Threats
There is a cybersecurity crisis facing charter schools and small businesses. Facing threats such as phishing, ransomware, and data breaches, and with limited resources and budgets, they need viable solutions to secure their data.
Phishing is when a bad actor imitates a legitimate entity and fools a worker into revealing sensitive information. Malicious software that seizes control of a computer or system and locks the user out until a ransom is paid is called ransomware, and it’s a very disruptive form of cyberattack.
Beyond the loss of sensitive data and expensive recovery efforts, cyberattacks can also cause reputational damage and a loss of confidence from clients.
How Buzz Cybersecurity Protects Clients
Buzz Cybersecurity offers scalable and thorough cyber defense services designed to address vulnerable sectors. They manage detection and response and provide cloud solutions for safe and scalable storage. The Buzz specialists also have Disaster Recovery Plans to protect data and recover it quickly in the aftermath of a breach. Their advanced email security locks out scammers and prevents disruptive viruses.
Over the past year, Buzz Cybersecurity has blocked 1.56 million threats and prevented $23.1 million in potential lost revenue for clients.
Compliance is also very important for charter schools. FERPA, COPPA, and PII violations can cause severe legal and financial repercussions that adversely affect charter schools’ reputation and ability to operate. Buzz Cybersecurity will secure student records to meet legal requirements and maintain privacy (FERPA) while also protecting the online privacy of children under 13 by preventing unauthorized data collection (COPPA).
A Dedication to Schools
By safeguarding personally identifiable information, Buzz Cybersecurity helps charter schools meet federal regulations. Buzz’s specialists monitor and update systems to comply with regulations as they evolve, and their in-depth expertise provides defense against evolving threats while allowing clients to focus on what’s important.
