With their motto of “Students First,” the Polk County School District’s (PCSD) mission is to provide a high-quality education for all students. For their IT team, providing that high-quality education means ensuring students’ data privacy and protection while avoiding any disruptions to the learning process. Ranking as the seventh largest district in Florida, Polk County covers more than 130 schools with 106,000 students and 14,000 faculty/staff. Acknowledging the continually growing threat landscape, Polk County called on VMware Carbon Black Cloud Workload to secure their data centers and give them the visibility they need to prevent unwanted threats in their environment.
