This strategic partnership will empower K12 education institutions in California with access to Forsyte's cutting-edge managed security services, including Guardian 365, a Microsoft Managed XDR Verified solution, and top-tier security offerings.

CITE members will now benefit from Guardian 365, a comprehensive managed service offering designed to deliver 24x7x365 protection, detection, and remediation against the rising tide of cybersecurity threats. Thoughtfully tailored for educational institutions, Guardian 365 utilizes existing Microsoft 365 licenses to deploy a full security stack, optimizing usage and ensuring end-to-end protection for educational environments.
