Why AI Should Be Part of Your Data Breach Response Plan
Tuesday Jul 18, 2023
Tuesday Jul 18, 2023
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?

Project management skills are essential in litigation support to respect deadlines and deliverables. Similar to juggling many balls at once and the trick is not to drop one, two, or more. Get advice from experts on managing expectations - the key to success is not always known - but the key to failure is certainly trying to please everyone.Questions Kathy will ask speakers:- What are some of the most difficult expectations you have had to deal with and how have you dealt with them?- Do you have any time management strategies you can pass along? How can you effectively prioritize to meet demands?- Can or should a plan-B be offered when a deliverable is impossible ?- What advice would you give to someone about managing expectations?Moderator:@Kathy Dallaire, CEDS - CEDS, eDiscovery and Litigation Support Coordinator, Stikeman Elliott LLPSpeakers:@James MacGregor - Partner, Forcyd@Stephanie Clerkin - Director of Litigation Support, Korein Tillery LLC
