In the ever-evolving landscape of data storage technologies, data security remains a top priority for organizations. In August 2022, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) introduced IEEE 2883-2022, a comprehensive standard for data sanitization. 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 […]
The crypto erase method, based on TCG Opal and offered by Fidelity Height’s Opal Lock, provides a swift and efficient data erasure solution.
In the fast-paced digital landscape of today, where data flows seamlessly between organizations and across various storage media, ensuring the confidentiality of sensitive information has never been more critical. With the increasing adoption of distributed cloud-based architectures and the proliferation of data-sharing practices, the risk of sensitive data falling into the wrong hands is ever-present. […]
In today’s digital age, data has become the lifeblood of organizations, driving decisions, insights, and innovations. But what happens when data outlives its purpose? Stacks of obsolete hard drives, once brimming with valuable information, often lie dormant, posing a potential threat if not properly managed. While many have resorted to destructive methods like shredding or […]
In today’s digital age, data security is of paramount importance, especially in the healthcare sector. A major health system’s data breach is a stark reminder of the potential risks healthcare organizations face. Encryption must be a mandatory measure for protecting your laptop, not only against cyber-criminals but also physical theft. The Breach That Exposed 43,000 […]
Turns out that the years of eBay warning prospective vendors of making sure their laptops and storage devices have been wiped clean to keep deleted files from being recovered probably fell on a ton of deaf ears. Files Easily Recovered from Discarded Hard Drives There’s a worrying trend happening that you should be aware of. […]
It does not matter if it’s a personal laptop or one you use for work, your laptop is your lifeline to so many things. It helps you to stay connected, but it also has a lot of information about you stored in it. If you lose it, or your laptop is stolen, you are at […]
In a world where laptops have become essential tools for work, education, and personal use, the risk of theft is a growing concern. Surprisingly, public transport sites and airports rank low on the list of locations where laptops are stolen. Instead, it’s schools and residential properties that pose the highest risk. Reports on missing computers […]
