The Perimeter Is Dead:
Findings from the 2026 State of Data Protection in Legal Report
May 28th @ 12PM EST
Law firms do not sell software, products, or infrastructure. They sell judgment, expertise, and confidentiality. That contract creates The Trust Premium: the economic value that drives client retention, billing power, and competitive positioning. The terms are simple - clients share their most sensitive information; firms protect it.
Maintaining that trust has become significantly more complex. By operational necessity, sensitive information moves constantly: to opposing counsel, witnesses, client portals, due diligence platforms, and now generative AI tools. The governance frameworks most firms have built were designed for a world where data stays inside the building.
That world no longer exists.
This session, grounded in an analysis of 200+ prominent law firms, diagnoses the structural vulnerability at the center of legal data governance, and shows what closing the gap requires. Join us to examine what the data found, and what comes next for firms willing to close the gap.
Data Solution of the Year for Legal
Confidencial, a data-centric security solution, today announced it has been named the winner of the “Data Solution of the Year for Legal” award in the 2026 Data Breakthrough Awards. The program, conducted by Tech Breakthrough, is a premier recognition platform that rigorously evaluates the global big data and analytics markets.
Confidencial was selected for its patented technology that addresses the "visibility gap" in legal workflows - a vulnerability that occurs when sensitive client data leaves secure repositories to fuel modern AI applications.
Originally developed under the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and incubated at SRI, Confidencial’s platform ensures that data protection is embedded within the file itself, regardless of where it is stored or processed.
