Located in a rural region of San Diego County, Bonsall Unified School District is deeply committed to safeguarding student data and privacy. With limited IT resources and a critical responsibility to protect sensitive educational records, the district sought reliable, manageable cybersecurity tools that would fit both their technical needs and budget.

ESET gave us everything we needed—strong protections, centralized control, and ease of use —without breaking our budget.

THE CYBERSECURITY CHALLENGE

The district was challenged with an endpoint security solution that was difficult to use and manage. With a complex management console, the small IT team struggled to maintain visibility, ensure compliance and respond quickly to issues. As security demands increased, particularly around student data privacy, the district needed a streamlined, centrally managed solution that could deliver enterprise-grade protection without complexity.

THE CYBERSECURITY SOLUTION

The district selected ESET PROTECT entry on-prem to secure its 300 devices. The choice was based on a combination of affordability and comprehensive protection features. ESET provided the tools the district needed to strengthen endpoint security while also offering a user friendly interface that significantly simplified IT workflows.

With ESET’s intuitive dashboard, the district can now monitor endpoints more effectively, stay ahead of potential threats, and better protect student data.

In switching to a more intuitive and affordable solution, Bonsall simplified endpoint management and bolstered their defenses across the board. With ESET in place, the district can focus more on education and less on IT headaches.

“With ESET, we finally have a solution that works for our size, our budget, and our security needs.”
