This book prepares fraud investigators, legal professionals, forensic accountants and executives with understanding the ramifications of storing data with third party providers and how such storage mechanisms relate to the limits of discovery practices. It has a discussion of the few existing legal precedents and current cases that are shaping interpretation of discovery laws in the cloud space. Topics include: an overview of current trends in cloud computing; litigation that involves data held by a cloud service provider; updates on laws governing discovery of information held by a third party cloud service provider; updates on legal cases that address the issues of the Electronic Communication Privacy Act; practical guidance on how to consider the availability of cloud data relevant to an investigation, and how to include this data in discovery plans. --
