EchoLeaf Systems Announces Partnership with A+ Technology & Security Solutions

‍EchoLeaf Systems Announces Strategic Reseller Partnership with A+ Technology & Security Solutions to Expand Cybersecurity Protection for K-12 Schools in the Tri-State Area

‍

MARCO ISLAND, FL – April 29, 2025

The education sector has become a primary target for cybercriminals, with over 66% of K-12 schools in the U.S. impacted by a cyber incident in 2024. Recovery costs have more than doubled year-over-year, and recovery timelines continue to grow. Through this partnership, EchoLeaf’s patented physical air-gapped, immutable, and intelligently orchestrated solution will provide schools of all sizes with a critical last line of defense when other security measures fail. A+ Technology & Security Solutions’ expertise in educational technology services, combined with EchoLeaf’s breakthrough data protection, offers schools a powerful safeguard for sensitive student information and operational continuity.

"Educational institutions are increasingly vulnerable to cyber-attacks yet often lack the specialized resources to implement robust protection," said Linda Moss, Co-founder and CEO of EchoLeaf Systems. "By partnering with A+ Technology & Security Solutions, we’re ensuring that schools can recover quickly from ransomware attacks—without paying ransom or facing prolonged downtime."

The EchoLeaf SafeRoom Suite™ creates a physical isolation barrier between critical data and potential ransomware threats. Unlike traditional backup solutions that remain vulnerable to network-based attacks, EchoLeaf’s air-gapped approach prevents malware from compromising backup data—a crucial advantage when 94% of attackers specifically target backup systems.

"We've seen firsthand the devastating impact of cyber-attacks on educational institutions," said Jeffrey Sweeney, General Manager at A+ Technology & Security Solutions. "EchoLeaf’s solution fills a vital gap in school cybersecurity strategies by providing truly ransomware-proof backup and recovery capabilities. We’re proud to offer this essential protection to the schools we serve across the tri-state region."

Through this partnership, A+ Technology & Security Solutions will offer EchoLeaf’s SafeRoom Suite™ as part of its technology services portfolio, providing implementation support, training, and ongoing service to help schools:

· Protect sensitive student records and critical operational data

· Reduce recovery time from months to hours following a cyber attack

· Lower total cost of ownership compared to cloud or disk-based alternatives

· Meet compliance requirements for data security and privacy

· Implement enterprise-grade protection without specialized IT resources
