Endpoint Security & Managed Detection
Enterprise-grade cybersecurity protection for Illinois K-12 school and districts.
Enterprise Cybersecurity with LTC + SentinelOne
Protect every device in your district with advanced endpoint security, vulnerability management, and 24/7 managed threat hunting.
The Learning Technology Center (LTC) provides Illinois school districts with access to the SentinelOne Singularity cybersecurity platform, helping districts detect threats earlier, stop attacks automatically, and strengthen their overall security posture—without requiring a full in-house security operations team.
Built specifically to support the needs of K-12 technology teams, this service combines AI-powered endpoint protection, vulnerability management, and managed detection and response (MDR) with proactive threat hunting into a single unified solution.
Security Platform Features
Participating districts receive support from both the Learning Technology Center and the SentinelOne security team. Together, they provide implementation guidance, ongoing assistance, and the tools districts need to detect, contain, and respond to cyber threats across their environment.
Endpoint Detection & Response
AI-powered protection that detects and automatically stops threats across district devices.
24/7 Managed Detection, Response & Threat Hunting
SentinelOne’s Wayfinder MDR Essentials provides continuous monitoring of security alerts with expert investigation, automated remediation, and proactive threat hunting for newly emerging threats—powered by SentinelOne threat research, third-party intelligence, and Google Threat Intelligence.
Vulnerability Management
Continuously identify and monitor application and operating system vulnerabilities across your environment with CVE-level visibility, enabling your team to prioritize and address security risks before they can be exploited.
Cross-Platform Device Protection
Protect Windows, macOS, Linux devices, servers, and cloud workloads.
Automated Threat Response
Automatically contain threats with actions like quarantine, device isolation, and system rollback.
Network Discovery & Asset Inventory
Continuously scan and identify all devices and IoT connecting to your district network, with visibility into unmanaged endpoints and the ability to deploy the SentinelOne agent to unprotected devices.
Firewall & Device Control
Manage USB, Bluetooth, and device access to reduce potential attack vectors.
Remote Incident Response Tools
Security teams can investigate and respond to threats using secure remote shell capabilities.
Security Analytics & Reporting
Gain visibility into threats, vulnerabilities, and response activity through live security dashboards, threat hunting reports, and detailed analytics.
Protect Your District’s Devices and Data
Strengthen your district’s cybersecurity posture with advanced endpoint protection, vulnerability management, and managed threat hunting.

Add-Ons
Illinois consortium schools can extend their security coverage beyond endpoint protection with additional SentinelOne solutions. When purchased, these add-on services are automatically monitored and managed by Wayfinder MDR Essentials at no extra MDR cost.
Singularity Identity
Protect your district’s Active Directory and Entra ID environments with identity threat detection and response (ITDR). Singularity Identity detects and responds to attacks targeting domain controllers and application servers, monitors for identity vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, and provides cached credential protection and identity deception capabilities.
AI SIEM
Centralize and analyze security data from across your environment with SentinelOne’s AI-powered SIEM. Ingest third-party logs with a built-in detection library, leverage Purple AI for investigation, and automate response workflows with over 200 out-of-the-box playbooks through Hyperautomation.
Multistate Cybersecurity Partnership
The Learning Technology Center participates in a multistate cybersecurity collaboration focused on strengthening protections for K-12 schools and public sector organizations. By working alongside partner states, the LTC helps bring shared cybersecurity intelligence, coordinated response strategies, and enterprise-grade tools to Illinois school districts.
This collaboration allows participating organizations to share threat intelligence, security insights, and lessons learned across state lines. When a new attack pattern or vulnerability is identified in one state, that information can quickly be shared with others—allowing districts to detect threats earlier and respond more effectively.
For Illinois districts, this means access to a broader network of cybersecurity expertise and visibility into emerging threats that no single district or state could monitor alone.
Why This Matters for Districts
Districts participating in this program benefit from:
- Shared threat intelligence across multiple states
- Earlier detection of emerging cyber threats
- Coordinated response strategies and security insights
- Cost efficiencies through shared cybersecurity initiatives
