Handling Electronically Stored Information (Esi) in the Era of the Cloud

More commonly known as emails, files, attachments, and documents, Electronically Stored Information (ESI) and the policy management around ESI has drastically changed over the past few years. Not only have laws and regulations taken on better definition on how ESI should be handled, but the proliferation of use of mobile devices and the integration of cloud storage like Box, DropBox, OneDrive and the like impacts how enterprises need to manage their critical digital information. However technology has moved far faster than what organizations have adopted as their ESI policies, and those organizations with policies that are more than a couple years old need to revisit their storage, retention, and archiving strategies. Organizations with no policies need to seriously evaluate their risk management as it relates to electronically stored information. This book highlights common changes in ESI strategies, and provides guidance on current best practices being utilized by enterprises worldwide as organizations update their ESI policies and implement new ESI management strategies to meet the challenges brought on by the new era of mobile and cloud computing.
