Collecting what is needed from endpoints regardless of location, is critical in today’s hybrid working environment. Corporate investigators and eDiscovery practitioners need to easily create and define targeted collections from remote computers, remote mobile devices, and from supported cloud workplace applications like Office365, Google Workspace, Slack and Box.

Watch as Lisa Neyen, Lead Software Developer for Cellebrite Enterprise Solutions, demonstrates how Cellebrite’s Endpoint Inspector can collect and analyze data from endpoints and cloud workplace application data over an organization’s network to give you the critical insights surrounding sensitive issues like data being shared and exposed, litigation, or employee misconduct.

• How to collect data from a custodian’s computer, mobile device, and Slack, validate it, and implement the process for the entire organization
• The end-to-end collection process in Endpoint Inspector to ensure you’re ready for review and have all the data you need

Collecting Custodian Data to Prepare for Review

In just eight short weeks, a new AI program called ChatGPT has captured the world’s imagination. From Silicon Valley to London, Tokyo, Sydney and beyond, millions of people have started asking ChatGPT to answer questions, write term papers and even create poems in Pirate Speak (Arrrgh). Lawyers have also jumped on board, asking ChatGPT to explain complex legal concepts, analyze contracts and even tag ediscovery documents. 

What is this new technology and how might it affect ediscovery professionals? Join us for a fascinating look at ChatGPT’s capabilities along with a candid discussion of its limitations. Learn about groundbreaking research suggesting that ChatGPT (actually its underlying algorithm called GPT) may not only help make ediscovery more efficient but actually replace ediscovery review teams altogether. Both time and cost savings could improve over human review by several orders of magnitude. 

ChatGPT has already passed a Wharton MBA test, a three-day national medical licensing certification and even a state bar. Should ediscovery lawyers be nervous about ChatGPT? Tune in and find out.

A New Look at Old Data Strategies: Mgmt, Organization & CAN/US Border Readiness

You are invited to join EDRM’s Email Duplicate Identification Global Project Team as they share how they have solved the painful and oftentimes expensive process of duplicate identification across emails processed by multiple vendor platforms. This webinar will be held in multiple time zones over two days so everyone can participate.

During discovery, disclosure or an investigation, it is often useful to identify duplicate emails in data exchanged between parties. This can deliver many benefits, including the ability for legal teams to rapidly triage emails already reviewed that also reside in data received from others. While current approaches effectively identify email duplicates within native datasets processed by a single vendor, they do not enable duplicate identification across emails processed by multiple vendor platforms. Vendors use similar methods to detect email duplicates, but there are nuanced differences in their proprietary algorithms. 

Currently no means of cross platform email duplicate identification exists, except to reprocess the data using a single vendor platform, often expending significant time and cost. The EDRM Duplicate Email Identification project set out to develop a solution to cross platform email duplicate identification. Our solution is a simple, but effective approach which involves the use of the hash value of an email Message ID metadata field that we have named the EDRM Message Identification Hash (“MIH”). This new approach need not replace current vendor email deduplication methods, and will enable cross platform email duplicate identification. It is expected cross platform duplicate identification using the MIH will be applied to email data sets that have already been deduplicated using a vendor’s standard deduplication process.

Global Market Intro to EDRM's "CROSS PLATFORM EMAIL DUPLICATE IDENTIFICATION"

Since the dawn of the digital age, ediscovery vendors have charged for hosting the way landlords charge for rent: by the month. As with a rental home, you pay hosting fees for ediscovery sites even when you aren’t using them. The problem is worse for sites that need to remain online for months “just in case.” 

Modern cloud computing offers new options for ediscovery sites, ones that can provide greater security and save substantial amounts on hosting costs. Instead of running a site 24/7, turn it off when you aren’t using it. Sites can be spun back up in a matter of minutes, about the time it takes to get a cup of coffee. Charges are hourly rather than monthly.

Join our panel of lawyers and legal technologists to discover how Cloud Utility Pricing can dramatically reduce hosting costs, increase data security and help turn ediscovery green. Learn how you can save substantial amounts on hosting fees by running sites on a schedule, turning them on and off manually or have Merlin’s Cloud Energy Saver utility turn sites off automatically when not in use. 

Cloud Utility Pricing is the first Green Computing Initiative for ediscovery–in fact one of the first innovations in hosting costs since ediscovery began. Save as much as 70% on hosting services just by turning off the site. And do something good for the planet in the bargain.

Cloud Utility Pricing: Reduce Hosting Costs and Go Green in the Bargain

As investigations evolve and the amount of data involved increases, backlogs grow. For forensic investigators, finding specific and relevant evidence from that mass of data takes skill and experience. This webinar will teach you how to master and optimize the processing options by:

Using field mode to quickly triage
Turning off specific processing options
Using features, like new column sets in FTK rather than index search
Creating processing profiles that can be used again

Speaker: Dan Sumpter, Senior Instructor, Exterro

Work smarter, not harder: Optimize your system for faster forensic processing
