Join Warren Kruse, Robert Fried, and Kenneth Oliver from Consilio for a discussion on the potential relevance of IoT data to different corporate or civil case scenarios, and the potential need for obtaining discovery from, for example, internet-connected cameras; home automation systems; smart speakers, TVs, and refrigerators, and wearables.

This discussion will also touch on aspects of the industrial realm such as the challenge of IoT data generated in factories, warehouses, and pipelines, among other settings.

What is IoT?
Consumer IoT Wearables
Digital Assistants
Smart Home devices (thermostats, light bulbs, doorbells, refrigerators, e.g.)
Industrial IoT
Safety and maintenance monitoring
Supply Chain tracking and monitoring
Productivity tracking and monitoring
Unique IoT Challenges
Use in Civil cases
Preserving Data
Helping clients understand what IoT data they have
Who to send preservation request to?
How to preserve?
Collecting Data
How to collect and from whom?
Possession, Custody, and Contro
Consumer IoT – who owns the data?
How and where is it stored
Industrial IoT – cloud-based monitoring systems or manufacturer IoT or LEASED IoT equipment
Subpoenaing data from third parties
Different formats and potential need to convert the data for review

Assessing Accessibility, Relevance of IoT Data

Often less accessible, but also more ephemeral, more danger of spoliation
Is same data available from other, more easily accessible sources?
Is all IoT data relevant? Can it be “untwined” if it’s massive?
