Fios is a premier sponsor of The Sedona Conference Working Group Series. The Sedona Conference exists to allow leading jurists, lawyers, experts, academics and others, at the cutting edge of issues in the area of antitrust law, complex litigation, and intellectual property rights, to come together - in conferences and mini-think tanks (Working Groups) - and engage in true dialogue, not debate, all in an effort to move the law forward in a reasoned and just way.
The Sedona Conference Working Group Series, launched in 2002, was designed as a bridge between the Regular Season Conferencea sn a pure think tank model. The Sedona Conference currently has 7 Working Groups (click here for details).

The Socha-Gelbmann Electronic Discovery Survey is an independent survey conducted by consultants, George Socha and Tom Gelbmann. The annual survey examines the demands for and consumption of commercial e-discovery services and software. Fios was named one of the top 5 electronic discovery providers in this year's survey.
Fios is safe harbor certified by the United States Department of Commerce. The European Commission’s Directive on Data Protection went into effect in October of 1998, and would prohibit the transfer of personal data to non-European Union nations that do not meet the European “adequacy” standard for privacy protection. While the United States and the European Union share the goal of enhancing privacy protection for their citizens, the United States takes a different approach to privacy from that taken by the European Union.
In order to bridge these different privacy approaches and provide a streamlined means for U.S. organizations to comply with the Directive, the U.S. Department of Commerce in consultation with the European Commission developed a "Safe Harbor" framework and this website to provide the information an organization should need to evaluate – and then join – the Safe Harbor
Fios' technology infrastructure supports the thousands of recognized file types and signatures identified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
The National Software Reference Library (NSRL) is supported by the U.S. Department of Justice's National Institute of Justice (NIJ), federal, state, and local law enforcement, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to promote efficient and effective use of computer technology in the investigation of crimes involving computers.
The NRSL collects software from various sources and incorporates file profiles computed from this software into a Reference Data Set (RDS) of information. The RDS is a collection of digital signatures of known, traceable software applications. There are application hash values in the hash set which may be considered malicious, i.e. steganography tools and hacking scripts.
