The global privacy landscape has shifted from a "check-the-box" exercise to a critical boardroom priority. Since the GDPR took effect in 2018, a wave of regulations—from California’s CPRA to various international mandates—has created a complex patchwork that organizations must navigate.

Exterro has launched a new podcast, FTK Over the Air, dedicated to the evolving world of digital forensics. Whether you are in law enforcement, private sector investigations, or cybersecurity response, this series provides a deep dive into the technical and human elements of the field.

Despite the 2015 amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP)—specifically Rule 37(e), which raised the bar for severe sanctions by requiring a showing of "intent to deprive"—e-discovery sanctions remain a potent tool for judges.While the "sanction apocalypse" feared a decade ago may have cooled, recent case law from 2019–2021 proves that courts will not tolerate negligence or bad faith when it comes to preserving Electronically Stored Information (ESI).

Exterro CEO Bobby Balachandran highlighted the major macro trends transforming the role of the General Counsel (GC) and Chief Legal Officer (CLO). Over the last 15 years, the legal department has shifted from a siloed function to the central hub for Legal Governance, Risk, and Compliance (Legal GRC).

For corporate enterprises, digital forensics requirements differ significantly from those of law enforcement. While police often focus on a single seized device, corporations must manage thousands of endpoints simultaneously. To be effective, a modern forensics toolkit must prioritize customization and flexibility—specifically the ability to run automated scripts that can isolate a suspect endpoint and stop unauthorized data transmission the moment a threat is detected.

Exterro has officially launched its new Training Academy, a global initiative designed to empower users across its entire Legal GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) suite. Whether you are a new user setting up software for the first time or an experienced professional looking to master advanced features, the Academy provides a structured path to product expertise.
