Cybersecurity Meets EDRM with the Cybersecurity Reference Model
Many legal technology practitioners have great familiarity with the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM), created and fostered by George Socha and Tom Gelbmann. The model allows attorneys and those who support them to use a common lexicon while wrestling with the complex issues and tasks associated with the discovery process.

The CSRM gives clarity to what skills are required throughout the information security life cycle and will be a reference to discuss what stages of the model are in high growth and demand.
