Q:How do you protect schools from ransomware and cyber attacks?
Schools are frequent targets for ransomware and cyber attacks due to valuable student data and often limited security. YZ InfoTech protects Central Florida educational institutions through multi-layered cybersecurity including email filtering blocking phishing attempts, endpoint protection on all devices, network security with intrusion detection, staff training on recognizing threats, regular security patches and updates, segmented networks limiting attack spread, and offline backups for rapid recovery. We provide 24/7 monitoring detecting suspicious activity and immediate incident response if an attack occurs. Our proactive approach prevents disruptions to student learning and protects sensitive educational records.
Q:How much do education IT services cost for schools in Orlando?
Education IT costs vary significantly based on school size, number of devices, and services required. Typical pricing ranges from $2,000-$5,000 per month for small schools (100-300 students), $5,000-$10,000 per month for mid-size schools (300-800 students), and $10,000-$20,000+ per month for larger institutions, including comprehensive network management, helpdesk support, device management, security services, and LMS/SIS support.
