In todays Internet world, the extent to which everyone is interconnected cannot be understated. While the benefits of this situation are obvious, sometimes the risks are not as clear. The ability to investigate and uncover violations of your Acceptable Use Policy or evidence of illegal activities on your company network and equipment is invaluable. The mere presence and communication of that investigative ability is often enough to discourage potential wrongdoers. But should that not be enough, you are more than able to follow through on enforcing your policies.

Legal challenges from outside your organization also present a potential challenge. The ability to quickly locate and make sense of data that will be of help in legal matters is critical. A sensible infrastructure plan to ensure critical data is quickly and easily accessible and presentable is extremely important. The eDiscovery concept is a major step forward in ensuring accessibility and availability of critical data, while mitigating legal costs.

You are also able to potentially recover data you were sure was lost forever. Data in many instances can be recovered from hard disks at the bit level, saving you many hours of re- creation time and expense.
