The Knowledge Group Has Scheduled a Live Webcast on BYOD, Mobile Devices & e-Discovery: Practical Tips to Take Advantage of Opportunities and Manage Challenges

New York, NY, June 09, 2016 --(PR.com)-- The Knowledge Group/The Knowledge Congress Live Webcast Series, the leading producer of regulatory focused webcasts, announced today that it has scheduled a live webcast entitled: BYOD, Mobile Devices & e-Discovery: Practical Tips to Take Advantage of Opportunities and Manage Challenges. This two-hour event is scheduled on June 23, 2016 at 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM ET.

Event Synopsis:

Today, mobile devices are an essential aid for communication and data storage at home and at work. The co-mingling of work and personal data, including audio, text messages, meta-data, social media data, images, search engine history, voice mail, video, and system logs on cellular phones, smart phones, e-readers and tablets creates problems for companies especially when e-discovery is required. It is increasingly difficult to identify personal from corporate data stored in embedded memory, subscriber identity module cards, removable storage, cloud services, and other locations. An increasing variety of file formats and use of numerous languages and scripts creates additional problems. Many companies have lenient Bring-Your-Own-(Mobile)Device (BYOD) policies since it reduces their costs and encourages longer work days. More recently, others have adopted Company Owned but Personally Enabled (COPE) device policies. An overly restrictive BYOD policy may be impossible to enforce. So, there should be a pragmatic balance of control and allowance with monitoring of devices and uses. Creating a robust BYOD policy to regulate devices also should be viewed as an important pre-cursor for companies facing subsequent litigation or wanting to undertake e-discovery. However, privacy, relevancy, and costs must be considered in mobile device data collections to ensure that they are limited only to responsive data. There are a number of programs available to help with e-Discovery of mobile data. But, no single 'forensic' software can ensure relevant mobile device data sets. The advent of 5G devices and the Internet-of-Things will create new issues and complications for e-discovery. If one thinks the risks are not great, it is wise to realize that one recent study reports that 51% of respondents said they would ignore a policy banning the use of mobile devices at work. Hence, it is important that attorneys, security staff, and managers to understand the advantages and disadvantages of dynamically fluid mobile device technology concurrent to balancing the benefits and costs and their obligations with regard to e-Discovery. In this two-hour Live Webcast, a seasoned panel of thought leaders, practitioners, and professionals assembled by The Knowledge Group will provide the audience with an in-depth analysis and discussion of the fundamentals, advantages, and disadvantages of BYOD for Mobile Devices in e-Discovery and the Challenges and Opportunities in 2016. Speakers will suggest how to ensure relevancy at minimal cost when dealing with mobile device e-discovery.
