As I walked through the halls of LegalTech New York recently, I was struck by the fact that with so much focus on data discovery, management and review, there was little discussion of disaster recovery. In fact, there was only one program at the conference directly on the topic, “The Role of Mobile Remote and Wireless Technologies In Disaster Recovery.” There is so much confidence in the power of forensic technology and the CSI-like retrieval of every byte of information that there is a risk that data protection is being overlooked.
Jeffrey Brandt, chief information officer at Cozen O’Connor in Philadelphia, was a panelist at the LegalTech program addressing this issue and comments that, to some, disaster recovery is old news. It was a hot topic following the tragic events of September 11, 2001, and then again post-Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Now, e-discovery is the topic du jour. Brandt cautions, however, that “disaster recovery is one of those items that people understand very well after they go through it once.”
