- Misconception: My data (or the data I have access to) isn’t valuable.

Take Action: Do an assessment of the data you create, collect, store, access, transmit and then classify all the data by level of sensitivity so you can take steps to protect it appropriately.
- Misconception: Cybersecurity is a technology issue.
-
Take Action: Cybersecurity is best approached with a mix of employee training; clear, accepted policies and procedures and implementation of current technologies.
Read the complete list of misconception and actions to take.
