When disposing of used company hard drives (or flash drives), there are only three options:1. Put the drive through an industrial disintegrator; or
2. Use an approved (DoD Standard) data elimination program, such as WipeDrive; or
3. Use a special degausser, such as Mag EraSURE ME-P3M.
Simply reformatting the drive and selling it, or donating it, on is not an option. Your company’s most sensitive data can be recovered using tools freely available on the Internet.
This, and other crucial aspects of IT and information security are addressed in the Information and IT Security Workshop, which forms part of ARC Training’s university-accredited Security Management Stage 1 Course.
The workshop can be attended as a stand-alone on-day module on the following dates (or in house on request):
7 April
11 August
24 November
