Why is Security Important in Email Marketing?
Email marketing involves the dissemination of information to a large audience, often containing sensitive customer data. Protecting this data is paramount to maintaining
customer trust and avoiding legal repercussions. Cyber threats such as
phishing,
malware, and data breaches can compromise email marketing efforts, making a robust security solution essential.
