When the Legal Exchange Network asked Anthony Knaapen, Manager of Litigation Discovery at Chevron Corporation to outline the main challenges posed by mobile devices, Anthony stated that the primary issue is that of security; protecting intellectual property, making sure that people are responsible when they're using their devices and are not avoiding or ignoring IT policies that might put the company at risk of losing data. During the interview Anthony also shared the robust BYOD governance policy implemented at Chevron, and how external service providers can help eDiscovery and information governance professionals.
