Flash: Deleted Text Messages from Secret Service, DOD & DHS & Other Scandals

EDRM Ripped From the Headlines Flash Webinar Series: In this fireside roundtable, guests, Jason R. Baron, former NARA and current Professor of the Practice at the University of Maryland and James and Jack Dever, cyber attorneys from Lockhaven Solutions, LLC with deep experience in the military and US government will discuss the Presidential Records Act (PRA) and other laws and rules about federal government archiving. We will turn to the revelations that several key departments, like the Secret Service, Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense are missing communications from January 5 and 6th, 2020. We will ask whether agencies do archive their records in practice, or are the PRA and other records mandates aspirational. We will inquire about records training and other sources of the same data, for example, from the telecommunications carriers, or from government surveillance. We will also ask about cell phones and migrations and how they have worked in the past with suggestions for risk mitigation. Lastly, we will ask about potential consequences for the record deletions. Mary Mack, CISSP, CEO of EDRM will moderate.
