“The day-to-day use of cyber risk intelligence is no longer just for government agencies – it’s a required competency for corporate survival,” said Art Coviello, Executive Chairman of RSA.  “The tempo and serious nature of recent attacks calls for urgent and bold countermeasures that position organizations not only to detect advanced threats, but also to predict how attacks may occur so they can take steps to help mitigate risk and impact. Combating advanced threats requires a new security mindset and vastly improved practices for gathering, sharing and acting on cyber risk intelligence.”

“Leading Chief Security Officers Outline Roadmap to Combat Advanced Threats”

RSA Sponsored CISO Panel Highlights Intelligence-Driven Security
as Strategic Game Changer in Battling Cyber Foes

BEDFORD, MA — January 17, 2012 —RSA, The Security Division of EMC (NYSE:EMC), released new insights from a group of the world’s leading chief security officers, designed to help corporations and governments dramatically improve visibility into advanced threats ranging from industrial espionage and disruption of business and financial operations to sabotage of corporate infrastructure.

The research report is the ninth in a series from the Security for Business Innovation Council (SBIC), and provides both business and technology executives with specific recommendations on how to develop an intelligence-driven approach to counter advanced threats.  Based on the real-world experiences of 17 top global information security leaders, the report provides a playbook for enterprise security executives who wish to leverage the universe of intelligence data available to help detect, predict and mitigate cyber attacks.

“The day-to-day use of cyber risk intelligence is no longer just for government agencies – it’s a required competency for corporate survival,” said Art Coviello, Executive Chairman of RSA.  “The tempo and serious nature of recent attacks calls for urgent and bold countermeasures that position organizations not only to detect advanced threats, but also to predict how attacks may occur so they can take steps to help mitigate risk and impact. Combating advanced threats requires a new security mindset and vastly improved practices for gathering, sharing and acting on cyber risk intelligence.”

Intelligence-Driven Security: a New Defense Doctrine for Advanced Threats

The SBIC is a group of top security leaders from Global 1000 enterprises convened by RSA to discuss top-of-mind security concerns and opportunities.  In the group’s latest report, “Getting Ahead of Advanced Threats: Achieving Intelligence-Driven Information Security,” the Council advocates for a new defense doctrine for combating advanced threats.  Called “intelligence-driven information security,” this collaborative, big data approach includes:

·         The consistent collection of reliable and actionable cyber-risk data from a range of government, industry, commercial, and internal sources to gain a more complete understanding of risks and potential exposures.
·         Ongoing research on prospective cyber adversaries to develop knowledge of attack motivations, favored techniques and known activities.
·         The growth of new skills within the information security team focused on the production of intelligence.
·         A process for efficient analysis, fusion, and management of cyber-risk data from multiple sources to develop actionable intelligence.
·         Full visibility into actual conditions within IT environments, including insight that can identify normal versus abnormal system and end user behavior.
·         Informed risk decisions and defensive strategies based on comprehensive knowledge of the threats and the organization’s own security posture.
·         Best practices to share useful threat information such as attack indicators with other organizations.

“It can be hard to digest having to develop a multi-year plan to learn who your adversaries are and how they’re going to steal from you,” said Tim McKnight, Vice President and Chief Information Security Officer, Northrop Grumman.  “Quarter-by-quarter, you may not see any losses.  It could be years until you see the losses – when all of a sudden, out of the blue, a company in another part of the world becomes the leader in your space, having subsidized itself with your R&D investments.”

The Council’s new report lays out a six-step roadmap to achieving intelligence-driven information security:

·         Step 1: Start with the Basics
Inventory strategic assets, strengthen incident-response processes and perform comprehensive risk assessments.
·         Step 2. Make the Case
Communicate the benefits of an intelligence-driven security program to executive management and key stakeholders.  Identifying “quick wins” to prove value out of the gate is essential for gaining broad organizational support, including funding.
·         Step 3. Find the Right People
Look for professionals who can blend technical security acumen with analytical thinking and relationship-building skills.
·         Step 4. Build Sources
Determine what data from external or internal sources would help detect, predict or lessen the chances for a targeted attack; evaluate sources on an ongoing basis.
·         Step 5: Define a Process
Codify a standardized methodology to produce actionable intelligence, ensure an appropriate and timely response and develop attack countermeasures.
·         Step 6: Implement Automation
Find opportunities to automate the analysis and management of large volumes of data from multiple sources.

“eDiscovery and Information Governance is a dynamic and complex market. To be successful with eDiscovery projects and develop broader information governance strategies, teamwork across traditional roles is mandatory,” says James D. Shook, Esq., Director of eDiscovery and Compliance Practice at EMC. “This is our third year of sponsoring a day of thought leadership CLE sessions at LegalTech. With this year’s lineup we have brought together the best legal and technical minds to deliver best practice insights during sessions at Legal Tech in New York.”

EMC is sponsoring the following sessions for CLE credit on January 31st in Concourse E:

Harnessing Search Technology Effectively – 9:00 am – 10:00 am

Search has become a cornerstone of all legal technology, from legal research to early case assessment to document review. As search becomes more accessible, it also becomes more powerful, requiring experts in the technology to take full advantage of the available tools. There is still a gap though, as search methodologies used in different stages of a case are vastly different. Case teams need to assess what strategies must be used, engage experts in both subject matter and search technology, and be aware of potential pitfalls. This session will provide attendees an opportunity to hear from experts in the field, preparing them to tackle search more effectively in their own cases.

Speakers:

The Case For Machine Coding in Document Review: A Judicial Perspective – 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm

The case for using machine coding and classification of documents in the eDiscovery review process has never been stronger.  As costs and ESI volumes continue to grow, machine coding promises faster, cheaper – and better.  Yet there remain many concerns about how to properly use these technologies, and the potential for risk when used incorrectly.  Hear what a prominent member of the Judiciary and members of the Bar have to say about the promising future – and their concerns for reaching it.

What it takes to have fun as a 30(b)6 witness – 3:15 pm – 4:15 pm

We have all heard horror stories, reviewed cases about organizations / defense teams who crashed and burned in court when they brought their ill-prepared, inarticulate, tech heads into the courtroom as “subject-matter-expert” (SME) / 30(b)6 witnesses in Federal Court on electronic records and eDiscovery matters.  Therefore, we have seen many examples of what not to do in those critical / do-or-die situations.  We at EMC thought it was about time someone showed you and explained what an example of an effective 30(b)6 witness looks like in addition, to what it took to prepare, what to do, what not to do and what was learned from the experience.  This session will employ a role-play learning method with a plaintiff as-well-as defense attorneys and our SME witness.

Speakers:

Heidi Maher, Esq.

Richard Vestuto, Esq., Vice President, Client Advisory Services, Merrill Corporation

Laws, Regulations, and the Cloud: The Confluence of eDiscovery with Pervasive Governance – 4:30 pm – 5:30 pm

Today, many organizations are looking to the Cloud for answers for controlling escalating information management costs.  However, organizations cannot just be focused on the perceived information technology infrastructure cost savings offered by the Cloud.  Organizations must be equally focused on laws, regulations and information governance issues.  If your organization has governance issues currently, then the Cloud will only exacerbate them.  Discover what the Cloud means to others and why it’s critical to place Pervasive Governance ahead of any Cloud initiative in your organization.

PR Newswire

HOPKINTON, Mass., April 8

HOPKINTON, Mass., April 8 /PRNewswire/ — EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC), the world leader in information infrastructure solutions, today announced that in just one year since its introduction, more than 400 organizations worldwide have adopted EMC SourceOne™. Customers including Northampton Borough Council, Ogilvy South Africa and TOMRA are deploying EMC SourceOne to help them manage risks, simplify e-discovery and cut storage costs.

U.K. Public Agency Controls Storage Growth and Promotes Compliance

The Northampton Borough Council employs over 1,500 people in a vast range of jobs to serve the 200,000 people who live within the largest borough in England. The borough council had high production storage costs due to the growth of e-mail messages and proliferation of PST files. In addition, it needed to comply with the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) which requires a multi-year retention policy.

“EMC SourceOne is enabling us to eliminate nearly 400 gigabytes of PST files which reduces our storage production costs and improves our back-up window,” said Carl Moreton, Enterprise Systems Project Analyst at Northampton Borough Council. “And now that all of our archived e-mail is stored in one repository, we can easily manage our retention policy to meet FOIA compliance. On top of that, the flexible, easy-to-use search tool is becoming very popular with our users.”

Ad Agency Reins in IT Costs and Reduces E-mail Retrieval Time from Two Weeks to Just Minutes

Ogilvy South Africa, an advertising agency, needed to avoid using up all available disk space in their e-mail servers and evolve its e-mail storage strategy to minimize exhaustion of IT resources while reining in costs.

“With EMC SourceOne, we are able to minimize IT costs by curbing the growth of our production e-mail environment and reducing the time for back-up, defragmentation and restore processes,” said David Breytenbach, Group IT Manager at Ogilvy South Africa. “We accomplished this with no end-user training required and the whole process was transparent to the users.”

“In addition, e-mail retrieval for e-discovery requests has historically been a challenge sometimes taking up to two weeks,” said Breytenbach. “Since EMC SourceOne was implemented, the whole process can now be performed by any IT support staff within minutes.”

Global Provider of Recycling Solutions Proactively Manages Growth of Production E-mail Environment

With the mission of “Helping the World Recycle,” TOMRA is a leading global provider of advanced solutions enabling recovery and recycling of materials. The company required a solution that would slow down the growth of its production e-mail environment and quickly produce e-mails for litigation-readiness.

“One of the real benefits of EMC SourceOne is eliminating the time-consuming process of restoring back-up tapes when we need e-mails for legal purposes,” said Kyle Burke, Senior Infrastructure Engineer at TOMRA. “With all of our e-mails ingested, we can easily search the EMC SourceOne archive. We are also proactively managing the growth of our Exchange server and have reduced the risks of unmanaged data by collecting and archiving PST files.”

EMC SourceOne Overview

• Organizations need to build an information governance strategy to manage the growing volume of information. Information governance encompasses the people, practices and technology to proactively manage and take control of what and where information is stored, who has access to the information and how it is protected as well as how long the information is retained.

• Unveiled in April 2009, EMC SourceOne is a family of modular, integrated products for archiving, compliance and e-discovery that makes information governance actionable.

• EMC SourceOne enables policy-based information management so customers can improve operational efficiency, ensure compliance and mitigate risks.

• Core to EMC SourceOne is an innovative, next-generation architecture that provides high availability and flexibility. Its unique design operates efficiently in a single server for midsize companies and public agencies and scales horizontally to meet the needs of large global organizations.

• The EMC SourceOne portfolio of information governance solutions includes EMC SourceOne Email Management, EMC SourceOne Discovery Manager, EMC SourceOne eDiscovery – Kazeon and EMC SourceOne Email Supervisor. The modularity of EMC SourceOne allows customers of all sizes to start with their most pressing information management challenges and expand over time.

Andrew M. Cohen, Esq., VP & GM of EMC SourceOne eDiscovery - Kazeon

by Lora Bentley, IT Business Edge

Lora Bentley spoke with Andrew Cohen, Vice President and General Manager of EMC SourceOne eDiscovery in the  Content Management and Archiving Division of EMC Corporation, on why companies should care about e-discovery requirements and how to best approach improving their e-discovery system and efforts.

Bentley: How much do businesses focus on e-discovery requirements now?

Cohen: Historically, corporations have not focused on e-discovery requirements, but that has changed since the changes to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and some famous legal cases, including Zublake v. USB Warburg.  Numerous corporations have recently been sanctioned and fined because of their failure to identify, collect and produce electronically stored information (ESI) as required by the rules and the case law.

eDiscovery War Stories
“eDiscovery War Stories: The Dirty Truth from the eDiscovery Trenches” was moderated by James D. Shook, Esq., of EMC expert eDiscovery team. The panelists were Steven Teppler from Edelson McGuire; Jeff Seymour from Deloitte; and EMC’s own Matt Nelson.

The plan was to talk about what really happens in eDiscovery — how shortcuts are sometimes taken, lawyers and IT people miscommunicate, repositories get missed and even good plans go awry — basically that stuff happens. The panelist wanted to get these stories out in the open, have input from the audience and discuss why sometimes eDiscovery projects do not go as planned — and learn what can be done better.

In reality, our audience was extremely engaged and active, and we followed their lead. We covered about 25% of our planned material. One of our key points was discussing the frequent disconnect between Legal and IT, and how important it is for these two groups to communicate well to insure successful eDiscovery processes. An audience member thanked James and the other panelists for the best session of the day, saying that for her, the depth of detail and knowledge provided by our panelists was ideal.

In one final twist of irony, the best war story came not from a panelist, but from an audience member!

“The Future of eDiscovery: Emerging Trends in Law and Technology and How it will Impact your Business”

With eDiscovery pioneers and special guest Robert D. Owen from Fulbright & Jaworski, Farrah Pepper from Gibson, Dunn, & Crutcher, George Socha, Esq., and Andrew M. Cohen, Esq., from EMC, Jake Frazier, MBA, Esq., was in top form to moderate the noted panel. The session discussed the law, recent cases and rulings, as well as how new technology has impacted the business and law surrounding eDiscovery. One attendee characterized it session as “powerful and insightful.”

eDiscovery StraightTalk
A topic of discussion at LegalTech was Judge Scheindlin recent opinion. Kazeon delivers insoght into her opinion in our blog eDiscovery StraightTalk with James D. Shook, Esq., entitled “New Decision Orders Sanctions… But Provides Strong Guidance.” The article discusses the very recent decision by Judge Scheindlin in the Pension Committee vs. Banc of America Securities et. al case. Her decision provides the eDiscovery community with some clear guidance on appropriate litigation hold and collection procedures, as well as a framework for determining when sanctions are appropriate and the level of those sanctions. Read more in Mr. Shook’s explanation of the decision in his blog post for the Kazeon blog…Discover.

Bringing eDiscovery in-house
The buzz of the show was the topic of bringing eDiscovery in-house, which attendees were very interested in discussing with EMC Kazeon executives. Although several vendors, including ECM have been championing in-house eDiscovery for several years, the tipping point is happening now, says Kazeon in its blog. Kazeon says http://www.kazeon.com/blog/2010/02/emckazeon-at-legaltech-in-house-is-hot/: “The question customer should ask is ‘With all the sanctions and fines leveled by Judges in eDiscovery cases, can your company provide the support to deploy eDiscovery, manage the complexity of integrating into our data centers and provide process and legal best practices to support us before, during and potentially after ligation?’ If the answer to this question is anything less than an unequivocal YES then customers must think again about their provider.”

The big news….In-House eDiscovery.  Although several vendors like EMC have been championing In-House eDiscovery for several years, this year is when In-House eDiscovery has come into its own.  Why?  Well, there are numerous reasons…but let’s say it is at the tipping point.


In-House eDiscovery is being touted by every company at LegalTech.  The question customer should ask is “With all the sanctions and fines leveled by Judges in eDiscovery cases, can your company provide the support to deploy eDiscovery, manage the complexity of  integrating into our data centers and provide process and legal best practices to support us before, during and potentially after ligation?”  If the answer to this question is anything less than an “unequivocal YES”….then customers must think again about their provider.

Tomorrow is likely to be even a more chaotic day, as the West Coasters will be arriving today.  EMC start tomorrow with a day of Super Sessions which have been the talk of the conference today….see our super session flyer below.
