The Vanishing Act: archiving, storage of ephemeral messages

In this session, we will discuss the importance of data compliance and retention, effective ways to assess risk, and practical discovery when dealing with ephemeral messaging apps (Teams, WhatsApp etc.).

Email is increasingly getting replaced and supplemented by various messaging applications, some with disappearing messaging, that do not reside on network servers, and do not have archives controlled by the organization. With no relative permanence or search-ability, numerous issues arise for employers, especially with eDiscovery and litigation.
