Mastering Cloud Collections: Exposing Forensic Weaknesses (CLE)
Join us for Part 2 of our three-part series, “Defensibility in the Digital Age,” as we explore the impact of cloud-based collections in digital forensics on data integrity and the defensibility of evidence. We will particularly focus on challenges such as hash verification and chain of custody in cloud environments.
As the legal field increasingly relies on cloud platforms like OneDrive, AWS, Google Drive, Box, and Dropbox, maintaining data integrity and defensibility in eDiscovery has become more complex. This session will address the growing challenges of cloud-based collections in digital forensics, focusing on critical aspects such as hash verification and chain of custody within cloud environments.
With the rise in cloud services, legal professionals must understand the potential gaps in digital forensic expertise. Variations in hash types can complicate cloud collections and pose significant risks to the defensibility of digital evidence. This session will explore these issues in depth and bring clarity while highlighting how such complications can undermine the reliability of collected data.
Maribel Rivera will moderate this esteemed panel, including BlueStar’s Sarah Thompson, CEDS, Jerry Bui, Vanessa Quaciari, and Jon Rowe from Pinpoint Labs.
Key Takeaways:
- Challenges in Cloud-Based Collections
- Understanding Hashing in Cloud Collections
- Hash verification processes
- Chain of custody in cloud environments
- Different hash types and their implications
Attendees will gain valuable insights into navigating these challenges through practical examples, expert analyses, and interactive discussions. By the end of the session, participants will be equipped with the skills needed to identify and address vulnerabilities in cloud-based forensics, ensuring more robust and defensible outcomes in their legal proceedings.
