On May 22–24, 2022, Brian Edelman joined fellow thought leaders at the Lido House, Newport Beach, CA for panel discussions at the eDiscovery & Information Governance Retreat hosted by the CJK Group and the 2022 Security, Privacy, Risk & Compliance Retreat hosted by Sub-Four Capital.
“I am honored to participate in these high-level discussions and contribute expert knowledge on cybersecurity best practices and technical controls to safeguard private data,” Edelman expressed.
Robert Dibert, Counsel at Frost Brown Todd, led the “Cybersecurity in eDiscovery” panel discussion, referencing the 9-phase Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM). The panel discussed ways in which parties, their counsel, and service providers may act to reduce the probability and impact of a cybersecurity incident during eDiscovery.
“This was a great session, which revealed that cybercrime is infiltrating legal firms and legal processes. The cybersecurity solution is implementation of zero trust, which considers users, devices, and systems as potential threats until proven otherwise,” remarked Edelman.
On day two, M. Scott Koller, Privacy and Data Security Attorney at BakerHostetler, led the “Exploitation of Remote Work by Cybercriminals” panel discussion on actively exploited security gaps in remote work programs. The panel addressed mitigation of cyber risks associated with the remote work model and tactics to harden cybersecurity against continued threats.
“Having a Security Assessment performed is crucial to learning where your firm’s risks exist. Understanding your requirements combined with security assessment findings are the foundation for a strong cyber program,” Edelman explained.
