Do you manage your Metadata?
Like the iceberg that sank the Titanic, the hidden metadata in every document that your firm generates or receives is the danger that lies below the surface of every written interaction. Metadata is the hidden data or information attached to every document, revealing an electronic paper trail of who has read and altered a given document and when they did so.
This invisible information can be accessed and read by anyone with the intent and skills to do so, whether it’s another law firm, business, or government agency. Metadata can also be subpoenaed in legal proceedings and used against you. Companies like GE, Merck, and Google have all felt the monetary repercussions of their metadata being accessed and read by hostile parties. And given the proliferation of mobile devices and remote working, the danger of your valuable internal information falling into the wrong hands is increasing on a daily basis. So if metadata is the problem, what is the solution?
