This standard fills a critical information gap by providing guidelines for securely erasing data on modern storage technology. It’s […]
In today’s digital age, data security is paramount, and the need to sanitize sensitive information has never been more critical. One effective method for data sanitization is “cryptographic erase.” This technique ensures that data is irreversibly sanitized by changing encryption keys, rendering the stored information unreadable. Understanding Cryptographic Erase Cryptographic erase is a robust data […]
