Well, it should be no surprise to learn that cyberattacks increased in 2021. The Media Trust team detected increasing attacks in 4Q.  Despite constant stories of malware attacks, website defacement, consumer data theft, misinformation and customer journey hijacks, organizations aren’t doing enough to bolster their defenses in today’s digital world

Chris Olson, CEO at The Media Trust, says that with today’s remote environment, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that digital-dependent organizations like education face an onslaught of attack attempts, with several education platforms forced to publicly acknowledge their security failings and promise to do better.

“Clearly,” Olson adds, “today’s traditional security solutions aren’t enough.”
