\\u201cAt the end of the day, the fundamentals stay the same. You need to prepare. If you fail to prepare, prepare to fail.\\u201d \\u2014 Fred E. Karlinsky

\\xa0

\\u201cWhat I think is going on in the world we live in today when we think about risks [is that] cyber risks are probably the ones that are the most prevalent. They affect all of us.\\u201d\\xa0

\\u2014 Fred E. Karlinsky

\\xa0

\\u201cI would say \\u2026 over the last year or so, government entities and technology companies in particular [are targets for cyberattacks]. Those companies with a lot of PII or Personally Identifiable Information \\u2026 have been significantly hit.\\u201d \\u2014 Travis Wong

\\xa0

\\u201cThe first thing I would tell clients is: \\u2018Please understand what you have.\\u2019 You need to inventory your data; you need to manage it. You can\\u2019t protect what you don\\u2019t know exists. You can\\u2019t provide transparency to consumers if you don\\u2019t know you have it somewhere.\\u201d \\u2014 Travis Wong

\\xa0

\\u201cEnsure you have a solid foundation. Know where your key data is, know who has access to it, and know what type of data that actually is. Inventorying it is one thing, classifying it is something else.\\u201d \\u2014 Travis Wong
