Top 2 Data Privacy Fears

  • Ransomware: Attacks that encrypt data, leading to exposure and ransom demands.
  • Phishing: Deceptive emails causing unauthorized access to sensitive client information.

The Security Gap

Marketing agencies rely on trust to manage client data, yet many underestimate how ransomware and phishing attacks can expose customer information. Understanding these risks helps agencies protect both their reputation and their clients' privacy.

3 Tips for Data Protection

  1. Install Security Software: specialized antivirus software on all computers watches for suspicious activity, catching viruses or ransomware before they cause damage.
  2. Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Extra login protection ensures that even if a password is stolen, unauthorized users cannot access accounts.
  3. Train Your Team: Employees should learn to spot fake emails, suspicious links, and tricky messages. Regular phishing tests and updates on new scams turn the team into the first line of defense.
