Security, Privacy, and eDiscovery in the Cloud

With more and more organizations involved in litigation—and being held to increasingly strict compliance standards—the right tools must be in place for collecting, processing and reviewing electronic data. Both IT and legal departments are feeling the pain of having to produce data in response to court subpoenas, but there is often a disconnect between the technical and legal requirements for e-Discovery solutions. Cloud-based solutions for archiving and e-Discovery can help alleviate much of the pain associated with discovery events, offering clear cost benefits, decreasing discovery time and reducing the burden on critical IT resources.

Cloud Computing covers a variety of ways to provide IT services with business value across the Internet. The key benefit of a cloud approach is one of scale; the cloud provider can provide better service and security at a lower cost because the scale of their operation means they can afford the skilled people and state of the art security technology. While Cloud Computing brings cost benefits, it also introduces new risks. How does an organization using a Cloud service for business critical systems manage the risks involved, and make sure that their information is secure? This session will outline the risks involved in Cloud Computing and we will also discuss approaches to managing these risks.

Cloud Computing has made online social networking possible for discussion groups, meet-ups and possible real-time relationships. However social net-workers need to be aware of the cyber black hats that are active in this space and their varied purposes.

In this round-table session, all of today’s speakers will discuss their presentations with each other and will answer your questions about all aspects of security, privacy, and eDiscovery in the cloud.
