4 Phishing attacks in higher education
The ‘Metis Way’ Means Sharing Knowledge and Wisdom
CyberMetis was founded by two guys lucky enough to attend higher education. Now, through CyberMetis, they want to bring knowledge and wisdom to the world.
Both founders imagine a world where institutions of higher learning are once again considered the epicenter of innovation and reasoned debate.
Like your organization, CyberMetis was founded with a mission beyond making money. We want to protect high education institutions against phishing attacks.
We want to change the way that people interact with technology fundamentally. We want to share wisdom and knowledge with the world to raise all boats. We want cybersecurity to be attainable by all organizations. CyberMetis knows that as an institute of Higher Education, you are always resource-constrained.
Spending money on cybersecurity may be taking away from your primary mission. However, suffering phishing attacks and exposing student or donor information could lead to crippling reputational damage to your organization.
CyberMetis is a different kind of cybersecurity company, and we want to prove that we understand the unique challenges posed by operating in the Higher Education space. CyberMetis can assist in fighting phishing attacks.

Getting support against phishing attacks for higher education organizations is more important than ever before
Many institutes of Higher Education have justified their anemic spending on cybersecurity by stating that schools are not targeted as much as other organizations. That is demonstrably not the case any longer. Phishing attacks have exploited top universities that exclusively target ‘soft targets.’
The malicious actors have realized that Higher Learning institutions handle impressive amounts of data and money.
The issue is that Higher Learning organizations are focused solely on their student’s education and the institution’s continuation. Higher Learning organizations are hesitant to spend resources outside of their primary mission, but sometimes they have to do that. An example is emergency situations like cyber threats on higher learning institutions.
At CyberMetis, we fundamentally think it is wrong to make organizations like yours choose between protecting your organization or furthering your mission.
CyberMetis will help you accomplish both. At CyberMetis, we believe that by sharing our innovative ideas and cutting-edge toolset, we can provide ways to save money while increasing your security footprint. We understand that sounds simple, but it takes experts like our team at CyberMetis to make it a reality.
