Cybersecurity faces a branding crisis, with consumers largely indifferent to security alerts despite rising breaches. This disconnect threatens trust between brands and their customers. Research indicates that 75% of U.S. consumers would cease purchasing from brands affected by cyber incidents. Past marketing strategies focused on fear tactics, which are now ineffective and result in consumer apathy. Companies are moving toward education-based approaches, with brands like Apple successfully embedding security as a value proposition instead of a scary concept, thus fostering a sense of control and encouraging proactive consumer engagement.
