Discovery (Legal) is a pre-trial phase in litigation where each party can request and obtain evidence and internal documents from the opposing side. This process is crucial in cybersecurity cases, as it often uncovers emails, logs, or internal communications that reveal what a company knew about a security incident and when. Discovery can include depositions, interrogatories, and requests for production of documents. The goal is to ensure both sides have access to relevant information, promoting fairness and transparency in legal proceedings. In cybersecurity, discovery can expose lapses in security practices or intent behind certain actions, influencing case outcomes.
