This year was a banner year for cybersecurity and, unfortunately, not in a good way. From massive data breaches, as seen most recently with Marriott, to highly-sophisticated malware campaigns to nation-state-fueled attacks, we’ve seen a rapid rise in threats, forcing brands to figure out new ways to protect themselves, their customers’ data and their public image.

While the continuous wave of incidents and events have been alarming, if there’s a silver lining, it’s that we’re paying much closer attention to cybersecurity as a collective society. Security ultimately impacts every company regardless of industry, and even if you’re not working directly with a security company, it should be top-of-mind.

With a few small tweaks to their approach, cybersecurity marketers can better build consumer-brand trust and loyalty while spreading digestible awareness and education about this all-too-common problem.
