posselist Our “Top 20 … plus more”, a snapshot of interesting blog posts, and views on electronic discovery related issues and other tech developments from the past week. Sponsored by Applied Discovery.
Do you let your electronic information all hang out? In the wake of the recent HBGary scandal, where a hacker unearthed e-mails detailing a security firm’s plans to launch a preemptive strike against WikiLeaks, what law firm or client wouldn’t feel at least a bit of trepidation about storing information in the cloud? Concerns about security, privacy, and authentication loom large for many companies, many of which prefer to store their data in-house. To combat these concerns, some technology suppliers have developed a private, internal cloud where they store clients’ information; others allow a privileged few clients to share cloud space on a limited basis.
Of course, no matter the precautions your company takes in storing its electronic data, your security is only as tight as your leash on employees’ ability to share it. One additional weapon in your battle to prevent the online disclosure of confidential and proprietary information is establishing and enforcing a policy that allows you to monitor employees’ social media use (and if you need help with this, you should call us!)
As always, we hope you enjoy our content and welcome your feedback.

E-Discovery Events
One of the ways you can learn about e-discovery and all the technology out there is by going to a conference near you. Most offer free admission to the exhibit hall (those that have exhibit halls) where you can meet technology vendors, collect information, see the technology at work behind e-discovery, etc.
