The Reality

Why K-12 Is Under Attack

Arkansas schools and colleges hold some of the most sensitive personal data imaginable — student records, healthcare info, staff financials — but operate with budgets and IT teams that can't match enterprise defenses. Attackers know this.

Static, once-a-year compliance testing can't keep pace with adversaries who exploit new vulnerabilities within hours of discovery. You need a partner who evolves as fast as the threats do.

Recovery

Slowest to recover

Among K-12 schools hit by ransomware, 31% needed a month or more to fully recover. That's more than any other sector (Sophos, 2026).

Speed

Hours, not days

Verizon's 2026 breach report says attackers using AI have shrunk the time to exploit known flaws "from months to mere hours" (Verizon, 2026). A once-a-year test leaves a long gap.

Capacity

Limited resources

Most K-12 IT teams are small and stretched thin. That gap between need and capacity is exactly what adversaries exploit.

Who's Behind It

Born from frustration.
Built on experience.

Red Garrison LLC was founded by cybersecurity professionals with over 40 years of combined experience in education. We saw the tremendous need for practical security support — and a broken industry model where pen testers drop off a massive report and disappear, leaving organizations overwhelmed with no guidance on what to fix or how.

We built Red Garrison to do the opposite. We don't just test and run — we partner with you. Every engagement includes direct access to our team, clear explanations in plain language, and ongoing support to help you actually implement fixes. No jargon dumps. No vanishing acts.

"Real security isn't about the size of the report. It's about the quality of the partnership."

Protect your district all year long.
