商品描述
One of the hottest topics in computer forensics today, electronic discovery (e-discovery) is the process by which parties involved in litigation respond to requests to produce electronically stored information (ESI). According to the 2007 Socha-Gelbmann Electronic Discovery Survey, it is now a $2 billion industry, a 60% increase from 2004, projected to double by 2009. The core reason for the explosion of e-discovery is sheer volume; evidence is digital and 75% of modern day lawsuits entail e-discovery.
A recent survey reports that U.S. companies face an average of 305 pending lawsuits internationally. For large U.S. companies ($1 billion or more in revenue)that number has soared to 556 on average, with an average of 50 new disputes emerging each year for nearly half of them. To properly manage the role of digital information in an investigative or legal setting, an enterprise--whether it is a Fortune 500 company, a small accounting firm or a vast government agency--must develop an effective electronic discovery program. Since the amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, which took effect in December 2006, it is even more vital that the lifecycle of electronically stored information be understood and properly managed to avoid risks and costly mistakes.
This books holds the keys to success for systems administrators, information security and other IT department personnel who are charged with aiding the e-discovery process.
*Comprehensive resource for corporate technologists, records managers, consultants, and legal team members to the e-discovery process, with information unavailable anywhere else
*Offers a detailed understanding of key industry trends, especially the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, that are driving the adoption of e-discovery programs
*Includes vital project management metrics to help monitor workflow, gauge costs and speed the process
*Companion Website offers e-discovery tools, checklists, forms, workflow examples, and other tools to be used when conducting e-discovery strategy

商品描述(中文翻譯)
電子發現（e-discovery）是當今計算機取證領域中最熱門的話題之一，它是訴訟中各方對於要求提供電子儲存信息（ESI）的回應過程。根據2007年Socha-Gelbmann電子發現調查，這已經成為一個價值200億美元的行業，比2004年增長了60%，預計到2009年將翻倍增長。電子發現爆發的核心原因是數據量巨大；證據是數字化的，而現代訴訟中有75%涉及電子發現。
最近的一項調查報告顯示，美國企業平均面臨305起國際訴訟。對於大型美國企業（年收入10億美元或以上），這個數字平均飆升到556起，其中有一半的企業每年平均出現50起新的爭議。為了在調查或法律環境中正確管理數字信息的角色，無論是財富500強企業、小型會計事務所還是大型政府機構，都必須制定有效的電子發現計劃。自2006年12月生效的聯邦民事訴訟規則修訂以來，更加重要的是要理解並正確管理電子儲存信息的生命周期，以避免風險和昂貴的錯誤。
本書為系統管理員、信息安全和其他IT部門人員提供了成功的關鍵，他們負責協助電子發現過程。
*為企業技術人員、記錄管理人員、顧問和法律團隊成員提供了對電子發現過程的全面資源，這些資訊在其他地方無法獲得。
*提供了對主要行業趨勢的詳細了解，特別是聯邦民事訴訟規則，這些趨勢推動了電子發現計劃的採用。
*包括重要的項目管理指標，以幫助監控工作流程、評估成本並加快過程。
*附帶網站提供電子發現工具、檢查表、表格、工作流程示例和其他在進行電子發現策略時使用的工具。
