The proliferation of big data in the form of social media, cloud storage and personal devices has given rise to new, complex e-discovery issues. While many organizations have moved to confront these, often the policies and practices they devise do not take into account the realities of the workplace. This session explores and gives lessons for:
• Developing sound social media guidelines,
• Navigating employment laws,
• Leveraging public and private clouds, and
• Minimizing the risk associated with BYOD.
Panelists from top corporations will share best practices and valuable considerations for taking control of big data.
