You have to assume, if it can happen to MGM, it can happen to anyone.
Getting hacked is practically inevitable these days.
And too many individuals and even business owners are operating like it won’t happen to them.
Sharing passwords, not having 2FA turned on, and even having little oversight of who else has access to your accounts are no longer viable options.
After a hack that resulted in a $400,000 loss, Aaron Parkinson, CEO of 7 Mile Media SEZC, had to learn the hard way that when it comes to cyber security, it’s ‘better to invest 1% of your gross revenue in cyber security than to be wiped out in one shot.’
Aaron has hired a company to ensure that it doesn’t happen again, but even though they assured him, the chances of it happening again are still high. They’re just there to make sure it’s mitigated as quickly as possible next time.
As it stands, cyber security is now a necessity for businesses. Especially those heavily reliant on digital marketing and platforms like Meta for revenue.
So, the question is, are you protected?
“The biggest security issue you have is humans. It's not software. No, it's Sally. The receptionist has an admin account and she got hacked.”

00:00 The Harsh Reality of Cybersecurity Threats
03:39 The Devastating Impact of Sophisticated Hacking on Businesses
07:31 Strategies for Enhancing Cybersecurity and Protecting Your Business

Email deliverability: what is it and how can we get better at it? With so much uncertainty around SEO and with social media platforms effectively owning your content, controlling your email list and communicating with your customers directly is more important than ever.
Times have changed, though, and it's no longer just about having a reputable IP address to convince your customer's ESP (Email Service Provider) that your once-in-a-lifetime offer shouldn't go straight to the spam or promotions folder.
Getting into the actual inbox and remaining top of mind requires meaningful engagement with your customer. Today's guest is showing us how to do just that.
Brendan Dubbels is the Senior Partner Manager for Ontraport and he's offering some super practical tips on how to improve your deliverability rate by making your emails more ‘clickable’ and ‘replyable’.
Learn how to clean up your email list and separate it into customers that engage with different regularities. Discover how to manage what is transactional (eg. invoicing) and what is content-driven.
Join us on an episode of DigitalMarketer that takes the ESP out of second-guessing your customer's ESP. More consistency in communication leads to more clicks and fruitful conversations.
Brendan Dubbels is the Senior Partner Manager for Ontraport, a business automation software for entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, and small businesses. You can find out more about the work that Brendan does at ontraport.com.

What is the process for creating SOPs? And what are some of the mistakes that people make when systematizing things that they do all the time?
Today we're talking SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) and how important they are when it comes to scaling your business. And not just scaling your business, but standing out too!
If you're looking to create a step-by-step process for your business, where should you start? Is it the easiest thing that you can outsource – or is it perhaps the one that's the most draining?
