Intellectual Property

Technology modernization in the legal world has evolved from upgrading operating systems and adopting modern word processors, to moving critical workflows like ediscovery to the cloud. However, according to the 2019 ILTA Technology Survey, only 33% of law firms had a cloud-based ediscovery solution, with 15% looking to move to the cloud in the next 12 months. Recent global events like the coronavirus pandemic are forcing law firms and their IT teams to accelerate the transition to modern, cloud-based ediscovery platforms for their remote teams.

Join Everlaw's Caitlin Reinmuth, Product Marketing Manager, and Chris Rauen, Solutions Architect, as they discuss how firms can transition to the cloud — piecemeal or entirely — to leverage the benefits of:

- Empowering remote teams to collaborate on any stage, from anywhere
- Scaling workflows based on caseloads, seamlessly
- Recovering costs at different stages of ediscovery
- Relying on enterprise-grade security for data protection and privacy

The adoption of open source continues to grow rapidly, both in market share and in its strategic importance to businesses. Understanding how organizations use open source and do so in a way that minimizes risk is therefore essential to both an overall IT strategy and cyber security response plans. These are among the topics we’ll investigate in this joint webinar from Red Hat and Synopsys. Drawing from Red Hat’s “The State of Enterprise Open Source” report, technology evangelist Gordon Haff will explain why IT decision makers value open source so highly and the processes that commercial open source vendors put in place to protect their customers from vulnerabilities.

At the same time, changing development practices and escalating threats mean that security remains a concern with respect to open source software, as it is for IT more broadly. Tim Mackey, Principal Security Strategist from Synopsys will walk through findings from the Synopsys “2020 Open Source Security and Risk Analysis” report with an eye on how teams can use the data to inform their overall open source governance plans.

We’ll close with some practical advice about getting the most value from open source software while keeping your organization safe.

Including threat modeling early in the software development process can ensure your organization is building security into your applications. For applications that are further along in development or currently launched, it can help you pinpoint the need for additional security testing.
Threat modeling identifies the types of threats that are applicable in the context of the application and its environment. Knowledge of such threats, along with their likelihood and impact, enables us to secure our design in anticipation, identify security requirements early, and inform downstream security testing.

There are many threat modeling approaches out there. In this webinar, we provide insights into Synopsys’ threat modeling approach, which has evolved as we’ve conducted threat assessments for various types of applications for our clients.

COVID-19 has led to a huge increase in online meetings around the world, as companies large and small have been forced to adapt to remote working setups. During this webinar, we’ll look at the stats, intersections between online meetings and other data sources—notably chat and email—and some of the challenges facing legal, technical, and review teams. We’ll also talk about the parallels between audio and video along with a sample workflow for dealing with chat, audio, and video.

If you’ve asked yourself any of the following questions recently, this webinar is for you:
• What meetings should your organization record? Are there data privacy, HR, or other issues?
• Where is meeting recording data stored and how is it collected or retrieved?
• How can we optimize and standardize recordings for review?
• How much time will it take to review recordings?

FACT: The most expensive stage in e-discovery is document review, often accounting for 80% or more of total e-discovery costs.

Unfortunately though, many legal departments haven't seen their document review costs decline. Attempts often fail because they don't get to the root of the problem: too much data is preserved, collected and sent to outside entities.

In the third webcast in Exterro’s E-Discovery Masters Series, a panel of experts from Verizon Media, Ernst & Young and Epiq will discuss the best approaches for implementing Legal GRC protocols that create an efficient and cost effective e-discovery strategy.

Register for this upcoming webcast and learn:
- Practices for identifying responsive data at the earliest stages in the matter
- Why a Legal GRC strategy is a must have to streamline data requests that legal must manage
- How to update and modify your information governance and e-discovery preservation / collection processes to see immediate benefits

OpenChain standardizes license compliance requirements around the use of open source software in the supply chain. Customers purchasing from an OpenChain compliant company know that the software has been developed in line with a set of documented and tested procedures and that all the relevant meta data (SBOMs and compliance notices) is available. So what does that mean for you?

Join us for a live webinar to learn why companies like Scania (Volkswagen group), Cisco, ARM, Facebook, Uber, Google, Microsoft, Sony and Qualcomm rely on OpenChain. We’ll cover:

•The history of OpenChain, steps to compliance and overall benefits
•How OpenChain scales, and works for companies large and small
•What happens when the 2.1 specification becomes an ISO standard in September 2020

Many enterprises struggle with identifying, planning, and implementing the core capabilities needed to prevent insider threats within the organization. Executive-level questions and concerns about whether the investments required for enterprise-scale tools are justified by insider threat risk alone make it a strategically tricky initiative to sufficiently fund and fully execute.
Join this webinar with Nuix solution experts to learn:
• Why your insider threat tools and software need to address three core insider threat capabilities: threat detection, triage, and investigation
• How these capabilities work together to prevent insider theft of intellectual property
• The additional areas of risk these core capabilities support.

Static application security testing (SAST) is critical for uncovering and eliminating issues in proprietary code. However, over 60% of the code in an average application today is composed of open source components. SAST isn’t designed to find open source vulnerabilities (CVEs) or identify open source licenses. And manually maintaining a repository of approved open source components for developers is inefficient and time consuming. That’s where software composition analysis (SCA) comes in.

Join Utsav Sanghani, product manager, as he explores the benefits of bringing SAST and SCA together. He’ll explain why using an SCA tool to scan open source dependencies is as imperative to a software development strategy as using SAST to test proprietary code. He’ll also demonstrate how developers, by combining SAST and SCA analysis in the IDE, can address issues holistically as they code, saving time and increasing productivity so they can deliver secure, high-quality software faster.

Managing multiple matters while safeguarding client data is undeniably difficult. With the recent shift to remote work, litigation support managers and other administrators now have the extra responsibilities of maintaining data security and ensuring ediscovery teams have access to the right documents and cloud-based tools. Additionally, complex matters require strict information governance and adherence to compliance guidelines. Security is more of a pressing issue now than ever before, but legal budgets and timelines remain tight. The right ediscovery solution must ensure that secure workflows go hand in hand with efficient workflows.

Join Everlaw's Product Marketing Managers, Jennifer Roberts and Isabela Reid, as they show how the platform enables review administrators to accelerate the process of getting new cases up and running, increase control over their databases, and collaborate securely in a remote work environment.

In January 2019, the ABA published a new set of guidelines concerning the use of special masters. Despite their contribution to "just, speedy and inexpensive" resolution of issues, the use of special masters remains an underutilized form of dispute resolution. Join this all-star panel as they explore the pros and cons and share their thoughts on best practices to maximize benefits while mitigating the potential downsides.

If you’re new to Nuix or a long-time user, you can benefit from these pro tips, many of which aren’t as widely known as they should be. This will be a must-watch as Nuix veterans Matthew Geaghan, Andy Ward, Alex Chatzistamatis, and John Bargiel challenge each other with their knowledge of the software and welcome questions from the audience.

Free and Open Source Licenses are enforced by copyright owners globally, but by far most frequently in Germany. Overall, approximately 100 enforcement claims are initiated against companies. Global players may be targeted just as likely as SMEs. But how is that even possible, if Free and Open Source Licenses allow everyone to do everything with the code they apply to? And what does enforcement mean in practice? This talk will give a brief overview over the legal background to set the scene for a look into how enforcement works (at least in Germany). It will then lay out the aspects that companies should look out for, how tooling may help both on the claimant’s and the defendant’s side and how companies may protect themselves against enforcement.
