Why AI Should Be Part of Your Data Breach Response Plan

AI has become an integral piece of responsive/non-responsive coding for reviewing eDiscovery data, and in our last podcast in the series, we discussed how it is increasingly being applied to personal information identification and redactions in litigation and investigations. For this session, the speaker will focus on how AI is being used for data breach response and why it should be part of your response plan.
Questions the moderator will ask the speaker:
-What do you see as the status quo for how companies react when they’ve learned of a data breach, and what are some of the pitfalls?-What specific advantages does AI offer when compared with that status quo?-What are the risks associated with using AI for data breach response, and what hurdles have teams faced in adopting it?-What practical advice can you offer to the listeners on how to prepare for a potential data breach?
