This event qualifies for 7 CLPs

Overview:

The volume of message data in government departments is expanding exponentially.

What if real-time analysis of your email or social media systems could automatically alert you to pending litigation or insider threats? How would you investigate these? How would you determine everyone involved? Being able to detect and stop these threats before they manifest could save your department millions annually, and save your reputation.

In this workshop we will cover new investigative approaches that can be used to rapidly search and retrieve relevant and actionable information. These techniques apply not only to litigation avoidance, but also to FOIA, Privacy, and Compliance. We will discuss technology in non-technical language and show you the power and ease-of-use of some of today’s evolving tools for proactive risk mitigation.
