iPads In The Courtroom: How Secure Are Your Apps?


Picture
Lawyers have strict ethics that must be adhered to when dealing with confidential client information. Cases can be jeopardized if information security is breached and data gets stolen or lost. Important documents relating to cases, photos, witness statements and other sources of information can be stolen by hackers or accidentally or maliciously deleted. Tablet use in the courtroom has recently exploded and if you are a lawyer using an iPad or other tablet in the courtroom, just how secure are the apps you are using?


Can apps experience data loss?

Many apps are used on tablets and these apps include Dropbox and Google Apps- two of the most popular cloud apps available. Google Apps includes an entire suite of document creation, editing and sharing tools while Dropbox offers file storage with no file limits and the easiest file-sharing of any cloud services. But even these top cloud apps have experienced troubles. Dropbox has experienced a bug that deleted data while Google Drive also experienced issues that resulted in random data being deleted. A recent study of companies that use SaaS apps showed us that 1 out of 3 companies experienced data loss. 

Is there a solution to prevent data loss?

The solution is cloudHQ. The cloudHQ service provides continuous replication between two cloud apps such as Dropbox and Google Drive. This ensures that if you just happen to be one of the few unlucky users that experience data loss, that it isn't gone forever. Actually, you can just switch to the backup app and restore your data instantly and easily. CloudHQ protects millions of files every day for many satisfied clients who can relax, knowing their data is backed up by the best cloud data replication and backup service around.
