The legal community is not sure what to make of system logs.
Documented cases show logs can store very valuable evidence, but logs
are so poorly understood that lawyers and regulators have been hard
pressed to say anything useful about their creation and retention.
In this webcast Mr.  Wright will survey and interpret what particular
regulations, investigations and lawsuits have said about system logs.
He will then introduce a framework for managing logs from a legal
perspective.
