Data Breaches

Records retention management. Data Warehouses and Brokers. Data Theory. The Cloud: Battle of the Tech Titans. Amazon.com's (AMZN) squat Seattle headquarters looks nothing like the country club affairs found in Silicon Valley. There are no free soft drinks or volleyball courts. The light fixtures hanging from the ceiling in the reception area aren't fixtures at all but rather collections of extension cords fitted with bulbs. The receptionists lack computerized systems for registering guests. They simply write down visitors' names on a piece of paper. Most people recognize this Amazon: Jeff Bezos's hyperproficient Borders-killer; one of the few dot-com initial public offerings that didn't end up a punch line; fount of millions of smiling cardboard boxes bearing everything from dildos to diapers.

AWS makes it possible for anyone with an Internet connection and a credit card to access the same kind of world-class computing systems that Amazon uses to run its $34 billion-a-year retail operation. AWS is growing like crazy. One other thing about the cloud: It's turbulent. Protect - eDiscovery.

Full-featured application: Consolidate operations from many disparate tools into one platform. The Corpus in the Court: 'Like Lexis on Steroids' - Ben Zimmer - National. Linguists have introduced a new wave of data-crunching methods to answer knotty questions about language use, and a decision handed down by the Supreme Court this week reveals that the legal world is taking notice. For too long, judges and attorneys have relied on scattershot, impressionistic evidence to back up linguistic claims, even though language is often central to judicial decision-making. New high-tech tools for analyzing common usage promise a welcome antidote, but there is a danger in expecting them to cut through the inherent slipperiness of words.

The Supreme Court, to its credit, drew on some nuanced linguistic expertise in its ruling on Tuesday that corporations are not entitled to "personal privacy," rebuffing arguments from the plaintiff in the case, AT&T, that big companies deserve that protection since they can be considered "persons" under the law. "Personal" is just the adjective form of the noun "person," AT&T contended.

Ramin Rahimian for The New York Times “People get bored, people get headaches. Computers don’t,” said Bill Herr, a lawyer who used to work for a chemical company. Articles in this series, appearing in The New York Times in the coming months, will examine the recent advances in artificial intelligence and robotics and their potential impact on society. Béatrice de Géa for The New York Times “It’s a means of showing who leaked information, who’s influential,” said Elizabeth Charnock, founder of Cataphora, an information-sifting company.

But that was in 1978. Now, thanks to advances in artificial intelligence, “e-discovery” software can analyze documents in a fraction of the time for a fraction of the cost. Some programs go beyond just finding documents with relevant terms at computer speeds. Computers are getting better at mimicking human reasoning — as viewers of “Jeopardy!” These new forms of automation have renewed the debate over the economic consequences of technological progress. eDiscovery And Information Management Software | Recommind.

Digital Conflict -- Defense Systems. Modern tradecraft moves in parallel with cyber operations The demands on today’s clandestine assets require unique training, education, and skill sets that must be continuously refreshed in order to stay up-to-date with the latest tradecraft, especially when it comes to cyber operations. A common misunderstanding is that the skill set and operational domain of today’s spy resides in the physical world. Another misconception is that the operational environment of today’s cyber spies is confined to an office cubicle seated in front of a computer. Nothing could be further from the truth. The reality is the cyber side and the traditional operational environment of the spy intersect. It is difficult to think of a situation where tradecraft practices do not interact with a cyber component. Today, most if not all field assets operating on the clandestine side routinely leverage digital tradecraft.
