The basis for Legal Hold and Data Preservation Best Practices was the exceptional work by the group of presenters at the 2012 Conference on Preservation Excellence, held in Portland, Oregon in late September. The conference focused solely on the area of data preservation best practices. The presenters wanted to address a recurring issue heard at e-discovery events that found only limited attention being given to data preservation; often followed by a speaker blurting out “We could spend an entire day on preservation.” Well, we didn’t spend an entire day — we spent two.
The level of dialogue and depth of discussion on litigation holds and data preservation at the conference was unprecedented. Following the event, at which appeared many nationally recognized experts in electronic discovery and in-house practitioners from around the U.S., the consensus was that the event succeeded in demonstrating that preservation is a unique field of focus.
This Guide on “best practices” continues the goal of helping lead legal professionals on the path to excellence in legal holds and data preservation. Many organizations are working to instill sound data preservation processes and creating awareness internally among various groups of the importance of meeting the needs of the courts. However, few would rate themselves as achieving a level of excellence.
This Guide coalesces the discussions of some of the best minds in electronic discovery to discuss the Aristotelian Ideal of what litigation holds and data preservation can be, not necessarily what it is today. The real opportunity is to take the concepts and apply them in your workplace to achieve the following:
Be better and more confident at what you do.
Reduce your risk.
Lower your costs.
Strengthen your leverage when litigating.
Make your time more productive.
Make your co-workers’ time more productive.
Annoy the courts less.
You are an integral part in advancing the practice of data preservation. The knowledge you gain by reading this Guide is a concrete step in advancing the level of expertise in our community. Together we can improve how organizations of all shapes, sizes and industries approach the task of responding to a preservation obligation while building a valuable knowledge base for all to do better.

Preservation and Proportionality: Lowering the Burden of Preserving Data in C...Zapproved
The spotlight has turned to the issue of proportionality as it may be applied to the preservation of potentially relevant information. The postPension Committee world has moved beyond asking “if” litigants need to preserve information to a focus on “how.”
One need look no further than the testimony before the Dallas mini-conference in September and followed shortly thereafter by the debate stirred by the Pippins v. KPMG opinion.
Litigants are struggling to balance the increasing demands of preservation being driven by the exponential increase in electronically stored information (ESI) and the perceived rise in sanctions for spoliation. In order to control the increasing cost and “monumental inefficiency” that can result from traditional approaches to data preservation, the stakeholders in the U.S. legal system are searching for a solution founded on the principles of both reasonableness and proportionality as embodied in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
The goal of this paper is to explore options for providing more objective “guideposts” for litigants facing the uncertainty of future discovery demands.

Information Governance, Managing Data To Lower Risk and Costs, and E-Discover...David Kearney
Information governance, records and information management, and data disposition policies are ways to help lower costs and mitigate risks for organizations. Policies and procedures to actively manage data are not just an IT "problem," they're a collaborative business initiative that is a must in today's "big data" environment. With electronic discovery rules, government regulations and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, all organizations must proactively take steps to manage their data with well-governed processes and controls, or be willing to face the risks and costs that come along with keeping everything. Organizations must know what information they have, where it is located, the duration data must be retained and what information would be needed when responding to an event.
There have been numerous instances of severe legal penalties for organizations that did not have an electronic data strategy, tools, processes and controls to locate and understand their own data. In addition, the risks of unmanaged data include skyrocketing infrastructure and personnel costs and an increase in attorney time to manage massive amounts of data when a litigation event occurs.
Information governance is needed much like any business continuity and disaster recovery plans, but with an understanding of data: where data are located, how data are managed, event response, and regular testing of processes and procedures for preparedness.

DTI White Paper - WHY MOVING TO MANAGED SERVICES NOW MAKES SENSEJessop Fowler
If you’ve not recently reviewed a “Managed Services Model”, I encourage you to do so, leaving traditional discovery practices behind. The traditional model is a Data Security nightmare and will cost you sooner than later. Recent increases in the costs and risks associated with data breaches at major law firms are forcing corporate legal departments to reevaluate how their discovery is handled. Corporations are now discovering the old way of doing things is extremely inefficient, risky and expensive for companies routinely involved in litigation.
What do you have to lose?
• Control - By allowing individual law firms to manage the process, corporations are allowing their data to be moved to various locations, which is incredibly difficult to control.
• Security - There is no way of properly vetting the security of the data if the outside law firm is controlling where the company’s data goes.
• Money - Corporations lose out on the ability to consolidate the work with a dedicated, outsourced provider, as well as the negotiation power of volume-based discounts for the work.
By freeing themselves from this traditional model and turning to a managed service model, corporations can engage a third-party provider to create a discovery management program – saving your legal department time, risk and money.
A Practical Guide To Information GovernanceMichael Curcio
This document provides guidance on developing an effective information governance program. It defines information governance as an enterprise framework for managing the information lifecycle, including classification, retention, and disposition. It recommends establishing an information governance council, led by an executive sponsor, to oversee the program. The council should include representatives from key functions like legal, IT, records management, and business units. The document also outlines best practices for information governance programs, such as securing executive support, setting clear objectives, and leveraging technology.

INSIDER'S PERSPECTIVE: Three Trends That Will Define the Next Horizon in Lega...LexisNexis
In a recent Information Today article, Sean Fitzpatrick of LexisNexis discusses trends that will define the future of legal research as we know it.
Humans create 2.5 quintillion bytes of data each day, and the cost of storing and maintaining each byte of data is declining. In fact, the growth of stored data is outpacing the ability of most people to manage it.
Powerful tools, such as natural language processing and machine learning, are helping professionals bridge the gap between information overload and the ability to harvest the power of Big Data.
Millennials now make up nearly one-third of the U.S. workforce and they are our most educated generation.
The document provides guidance on creating a records management program from scratch. It recommends starting by gathering representatives to discuss current practices, appointing an executive to oversee the program, and taking inventory of physical and electronic records. It also advises identifying compliance requirements for the industry and conducting an evaluation to analyze gaps and vulnerabilities before implementing a new plan.
This document discusses 5 daunting problems in e-discovery: (1) rules and technology are always changing, (2) costs are variable, (3) technology-assisted review (TAR) is underutilized, (4) case analytics are primitive, and (5) e-discovery is transactional. It notes that while e-discovery has advanced significantly since the late 1990s, the industry still faces challenges due to a lack of standardization, complex technologies and methods, and a desire for best practices. The document argues that e-discovery must evolve from an ad-hoc, legal-focused process to a strategic, business-focused effort integrated with information management.

Research Project Proposal
Name
Ryan Schwalbe
Title
Robot Lawyers – The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Law
Synopsis
(Briefly describe your research proposal with the following criteria.)
Purpose
The purpose of this project is to discuss how artificial intelligence (AI), also referred to as machine based learning, is currently being used in the legal industry. Furthermore, the project intends to discuss the benefits of this technology in addition to the challenges clients and attorneys face both working with and against it.
Problems & Issues
One of the various issues the industry is facing with AI technology is the general adoption and implementation into traditional document review models. Many clients and senior attorneys are still hesitant to rely on computers for document review calls without the validation by human lawyers. The technology also requires a technical understanding of computer science and statistical methodologies used in machine based workflows, which many lawyers do not have experience in. AI methods can also reduce the number of human attorneys necessary to facilitate electronic document reviews. As the technology continues to evolve this could potentially create a drought for attorneys that would have otherwise been needed for the review work.
Organizational Impacts
It’s already been proven that large scale document reviews leveraging AI software can significantly reduce the legal spend when compared to traditional search term and linear based human review models. Courts are now more accepting of this approach due mostly to the controversy surrounding e-discovery related costs proportional to the financial damage merits of many law suits. The technology has also been proven to increase the accuracy and consistency of document reviews which reduce the associated risks of missing key documents and producing sensitive privilege materials inadvertently.
Suggestions
Companies, law firms and governing bodies alike need to continue evaluating the needs and uses of this learning technology for practical legal applications. Currently, there are many private vendor companies with expertise in this area but the lack of standardizations in the industry has created a diverse range of AI software and practices which has in turn has caused confusion through complexity. Industry standard practices should be developed so that training can be standardized, implemented and adopted across the legal community more rapidly.
Future Implications & Directions
As the AI technology in legal review continues to develop the need for human review and even second level validation will continue to decrease. Courts will become more accepting of the process and corporate clients will be less tolerant of expensive, bloated document review costs. Attorneys will need to be armed with both the legal and technical knowledge necessary in order to stay relevant in next generation law firms.

It is shocking to note that about 3.5 billion people saw their
personal data stolen in the top two of the 15 biggest breaches
of this century alone. With the average cost of a data breach
exceeding $8 million, it is no wonder that safeguarding
confidential business and customer information has become
more important than ever. Furthermore, with stricter laws and governance requirements, data security is now everyone’s
responsibility across the entire enterprise.
However, that is easier said than done, and for that reason, an
an increasing number of organizations are relying heavily on data masking to proactively protect their data, avoid the cost of security breaches, and ensure compliance.
The CDO and the Delivery of Enterprise ValueMark Albala
The document discusses the role of the Chief Data Officer (CDO) and how they can help deliver enterprise value through effective use of data and information. The key points are:
1) The CDO is responsible for treating data/information as valuable assets and ensuring their optimal use to support business strategies and value propositions.
2) Information flows through an organization's business model and influences the success of value propositions. The CDO aims to maximize this value by addressing issues like data quality, accessibility, and understanding.
3) The effectiveness of the CDO is measured by their influence on how information is used strategically in the business, and by improving the "information value levers" that can restrict

It outlines several benefits of data sharing such as lives saved, optimized legacy system investments, and expanded situational awareness. It emphasizes the importance of project planning, defining responsibilities, and identifying high priority outcomes. It presents three critical perspectives - expanded need, proven solutions, and full cost/benefit analysis. It also discusses various data sharing configuration options and associated costs and considerations. The goal is to help practitioners properly evaluate options and ensure data sharing projects are successful and provide value.
Right-Sizing the Security and Information Assurance for Companies, a Core-ver...Dana Gardner
This podcast discusses how Lake Health, a regional healthcare provider in Ohio, has matured its approach to information security. The Information Security Officer, Keith Duemling, explains that Lake Health initially took a technology-focused approach but has since transitioned to viewing security through the lens of information assurance and quality assurance. The goal is to ensure the integrity of patient information and protect availability so clinicians have accurate data to make care decisions. Duemling discusses how taking a holistic risk-based approach helps Lake Health address compliance requirements and be proactive on regulatory elements. The conversation explores the challenges of balancing security needs for a mid-sized organization and how automation can help a small team manage visibility and response.

The Least Privilege Principle in Contemporary HR

The Least Privilege Principle in Contemporary HR
There is a recent trend in contemporary business where enterprises seem to have achieved a collaboration with information technology aimed at improving business efficiency and consequently result in sustainable success. This development has however come with the liability of protecting key identifiable information of each party in a business organization (Dhillon et al., 2017). As it is, governments have put it as a legal obligation for organizations to protect the information of their people as they work towards protecting sensitive information related to business. In the United States alone in 2018, there were 65 successful litigations by employees towards the employer for exposing their information to malicious parties leading to closure of 80% of these businesses due to hefty legal fees (Cockcroft, 2020). Previous studies have attributed secure employee and business information to 45% success in business based on more motivated employees, confidentiality of business information of the firms and favorable reputation by clients (Porter et al., 2019).
The current situation points to the necessity in the application of the least privilege principle based on the numerous success stories upon its application. There is evidence that the implementation of this principle in the homeland department of security led to 78% reduction of loss of crucial information for the department, 71 % reduction of witness and whistle blower information leakage and efficient classification of information an aspect that aids investigative efficiency in the departments (Hammad et al., 2019). Experts aver that cloud computing, is not enough to protect important information and point to role based access, the foundation of the least privilege principle, as the next reliable pillar for workplace and business safety. This subject is particularly vital in human resource management practice as the department is the custodian of employee information and is tasked with capacitating employees.
Interestingly, under the period of the boom in internet technologies and their application in business processes, there has been cases of insider trading where businesses have lost huge investment money and their operating reputations. A study on the effects of employee data insecurity, in Texas, indicated that last year, 2019, 28% of employees reached by the survey reported at least one case of bullying as unauthorized parties accessed their key identifiable information (Sennewald & Baillie, 2020). The study further indicated that this.
Data Is The New Oil: How Shell Has Become A Data-Driven And AI-Enabled Business Bernard Marr
Today, every organization must become a more data-driven business. While most understand that this is important, they might not know how to do it. Here we share insights and learning from energy-giant Shell on how to prioritize data-driven operations.
Your firm needs to be committed to protecting information assets, including personal data and client documents. As a trusted advisor to our clients, the expectation is that we are aware of threats and are guarding their data. Data privacy and information security are fundamental components of doing business today, no matter how large your firm is.
In this paper we will look at three specific ways of protecting our clients:
1. Protection through our ability to research and improve intellectual capital
2. Protection through policies, procedures and processes
3. Protection by securing client data
ZyLAB White Paper - Bringing e-Discovery In-houseZyLAB
This report provides a straightforward, pragmatic overview
about how legal professionals and organizations confronted with e-discovery must be able to interpret e-discovery
within the context of actual expected processes, inherent risks, and the available technical solutions that can
support relevant activities. Many people may have some
idea about what e-discovery is, at least thematically, but
many do not have a full appreciation of how to effectively
engage the setup and execution of the process. Even for
those who have gone through an e-discovery process
in the past, some of the acknowledged approaches to
e-discovery are outdated, particularly when viewed against
the current economic backdrop and the rapidly expanding
technical challenges found in most organizations and legal
firms.

The document discusses the role of the Chief Data Officer (CDO) and how they can help deliver enterprise value through effective use of data and information. The key points are:
1) The CDO is responsible for treating data/information as valuable assets and ensuring their optimal use to support business strategies and value propositions.
2) Information flows through an organization's business model and influences the success of value propositions. The CDO aims to maximize this value by addressing issues like data quality, accessibility, and understanding.
3) The effectiveness of the CDO is measured by their influence on how information is used strategically in the business, and by improving the "information value levers" that can restrict

The Least Privilege Principle in Contemporary HR

The Least Privilege Principle in Contemporary HR
There is a recent trend in contemporary business where enterprises seem to have achieved a collaboration with information technology aimed at improving business efficiency and consequently result in sustainable success. This development has however come with the liability of protecting key identifiable information of each party in a business organization (Dhillon et al., 2017). As it is, governments have put it as a legal obligation for organizations to protect the information of their people as they work towards protecting sensitive information related to business. In the United States alone in 2018, there were 65 successful litigations by employees towards the employer for exposing their information to malicious parties leading to closure of 80% of these businesses due to hefty legal fees (Cockcroft, 2020). Previous studies have attributed secure employee and business information to 45% success in business based on more motivated employees, confidentiality of business information of the firms and favorable reputation by clients (Porter et al., 2019).
The current situation points to the necessity in the application of the least privilege principle based on the numerous success stories upon its application. There is evidence that the implementation of this principle in the homeland department of security led to 78% reduction of loss of crucial information for the department, 71 % reduction of witness and whistle blower information leakage and efficient classification of information an aspect that aids investigative efficiency in the departments (Hammad et al., 2019). Experts aver that cloud computing, is not enough to protect important information and point to role based access, the foundation of the least privilege principle, as the next reliable pillar for workplace and business safety. This subject is particularly vital in human resource management practice as the department is the custodian of employee information and is tasked with capacitating employees.
Interestingly, under the period of the boom in internet technologies and their application in business processes, there has been cases of insider trading where businesses have lost huge investment money and their operating reputations. A study on the effects of employee data insecurity, in Texas, indicated that last year, 2019, 28% of employees reached by the survey reported at least one case of bullying as unauthorized parties accessed their key identifiable information (Sennewald & Baillie, 2020). The study further indicated that this.
Data Is The New Oil: How Shell Has Become A Data-Driven And AI-Enabled Business Bernard Marr
Today, every organization must become a more data-driven business. While most understand that this is important, they might not know how to do it. Here we share insights and learning from energy-giant Shell on how to prioritize data-driven operations.
Your firm needs to be committed to protecting information assets, including personal data and client documents. As a trusted advisor to our clients, the expectation is that we are aware of threats and are guarding their data. Data privacy and information security are fundamental components of doing business today, no matter how large your firm is.
In this paper we will look at three specific ways of protecting our clients:
1. Protection through our ability to research and improve intellectual capital
2. Protection through policies, procedures and processes
3. Protection by securing client data
ZyLAB White Paper - Bringing e-Discovery In-houseZyLAB
This report provides a straightforward, pragmatic overview
about how legal professionals and organizations confronted with e-discovery must be able to interpret e-discovery
within the context of actual expected processes, inherent risks, and the available technical solutions that can
support relevant activities. Many people may have some
idea about what e-discovery is, at least thematically, but
many do not have a full appreciation of how to effectively
engage the setup and execution of the process. Even for
those who have gone through an e-discovery process
in the past, some of the acknowledged approaches to
e-discovery are outdated, particularly when viewed against
the current economic backdrop and the rapidly expanding
technical challenges found in most organizations and legal
firms.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
