Cybersecurity for Marketers

from Ahead of the Game Hosted by Digital Marketing Institute

Worried about your organisation’s security, or not worried enough? In this episode of the DMI podcast, host Will Francis speaks with ⁠⁠Rebecca Robinson⁠⁠, cybersecurity expert and founder of ⁠⁠Cybec Consulting⁠⁠. Rebecca breaks down why cybersecurity isn’t just an IT issue, but a business, brand, and marketing issue too. From phishing and social engineering to ransomware and reputation risk, she explains how modern cyber threats really work, why people shouldn’t always be seen as the “weakest link,” and how marketers can build secure systems without killing creativity. She also shares practical advice on training, password management, and building resilience so organisations can grow safely, even when things go wrong. Rebecca’s top 3 tips: Take a moment before acting on anything urgent – pause, question it, and ask someone else. Treat system access like currency – only give people the access they genuinely need. Use strong, unique passwords – and a password manager if possible ---------------- The Ahead of the Game podcast is brought to you by the Digital Marketing Institute and is available on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠, ⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠all other podcast platforms.
