Each year, Exterro compiles data points from major legal research and e-discovery studies—some of which we’ve conducted with other partners—to create a comprehensive look at the current state of e-discovery. Because some of these statistics are forward-looking, it may also offer glimpses into what in-house legal teams are preparing for, and what potential obstacles might be in the way. This year’s report focuses on three major areas, all encompassing how organizations manage risky data for litigation. Over the last year, data has become more disparate than ever, for a number of... 
The “colossal” ransomware attack last week on software manager Kaseya, an international company that remotely controls software programs for businesses, could end up affecting many more than the reported 200 U.S. companies after all the dust has settled, according to a security firm researcher. Cybersecurity firm Huntress Labs senior security researcher John Hammond said that while it is unclear how many firms will end up victimized by last Friday's attack, it would be reasonable to expect the current number to rise many fold. “It’s reasonable to think this could potentially be impacting thousands of...

AI is starting to find its role in Cybersecurity, especially as it relates to filtering for false positives and taking the manual tasks deemed time-consuming. It is finding a strong foothold as well in the world of Digital Forensics. Let’s take a look at some real-world possibilities... 
A few years ago, global companies began to take a closer look at their data retention practices, often because they had to; the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) would become the most far-reaching regulation of consumer privacy information to date, and with it came heavy retention requirements. A couple years later, the state of California would pass its own law, the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), which enacts similar retention requirements concerning sensitive consumer data. But even before the advent of these privacy rules, data retention had considerable importance concerning litigation...
