As Director of Technology at Niles Community Schools, Jim Tyler faced a familiar challenge for many in the education sector. Limited IT staff mixed with growing cybersecurity threats, leading to a heavy burden on the team. From phishing attempts to risky downloads on teacher laptops, the district needed a way to bridge the gap between protection and day-to-day operations.
He knew they needed a Zero Trust approach to get control, but what did that actually look like in a live school environment. During onboarding, unexpected threats surfaced. Real-time alerts, late-night verification calls, and rapid responses became part of a new security model.
