Case Study: Memphis Business Academy Secures Its Campus with Coro Cybersecurity

How a K-12 school system gained enterprise-grade email and endpoint security through automation, partnership, and ease of use

The Challenge

Memphis Business Academy (MBA) is a K–12 charter school system with more than 800 students, 30 faculty, and a small IT team led by IT Director Jerry Wilson. Like many schools, MBA was facing a growing number of email-based threats, phishing attempts, and endpoint vulnerabilities—all amplified by limited resources and users unaware of cybersecurity best practices.

Wilson knew human error was unavoidable. What he needed was a security platform that could outsmart it.

The Group9 + Coro Solution

Group9 partnered with Coro, a leading cybersecurity platform for SMBs and educational institutions, to provide MBA with a modular and automated security solution. What began with email protection quickly expanded to full endpoint defense and user behavior monitoring.

• 🛠️ Endpoint Protection: Secured devices without requiring constant IT intervention

• 🤖 Automated Remediation: Resolved 95% of security alerts without human input

• 🔄 Resource Optimization: Enabled Wilson’s small IT team to focus on other priorities
