Do you know the individual data destruction methods? Do you know what the difference is between disk demagnetization (disk degaussing) and information destruction with software? Can you degauss flash media? Learn about the different methods of erasing data from storage media. DEMAGNETIZATION OF DATA CARRIERS Demagnetization is an effective method of data removal from magnetic data carriers. To carry it out, it is necessary to use a special device called a degausser. It creates a strong magnetic field that disrupts the setting of the magnetic domains of the carrier: it destroys, for example, servo information and calibration information. The larger...

How to delete data properly? Sanitisation is the process of treating data held on storage media to reduce the likelihood of retrieval and reconstruction to an acceptable level. In what cases is sanitization of data media necessary? Sanitization is necessary if: you need to repair the equipment with the help of third parties. Removal of data from the storage media is necessary if it is sent, for example, to external companies in order to repair them. you sell a device that contains data. you give the previously used equipment (e.g. laptop, mobile phone) to a new employee. you hand over...

Is data destruction the same as destroying the media on which data is stored?No! Data destruction is the removal of data from a storage medium (the best and fastest way for magnetic storage media is demagnetization - degaussing process). Media destruction is the physical damage of a data carrier by crushing, puncturing or shredding - this method is recommended for flash media. Last year research showed 80% of U.S. and Canadian respondents from 1850 senior decision makers across the US, Canada, Europe, and Asian Pacific region have reported their end-of-life devices are just being stockpiled in storage somewhere. And… stockpiled...

There is a paper shredder in almost every office. Why do all companies destroy documents before disposal? 𝗧𝗢 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗧𝗘𝗖𝗧 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗙𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗔𝗟 𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗔By shredding documents with a professional device, we are almost sure that the data stored on paper will not fall into the wrong hands.

Rapid technological development has necessitated the very frequent replacement of IT devices. This equipment (e.g. hard disks, streamer tapes), may contain key information for the company, which in the case of falling into the wrong hands may pose a threat to the further functioning of the company or institution. This makes data protection against unauthorised access more important than ever. In institutions and enterprises, where confidential information is managed (such as personal data, credit card numbers, account numbers, product information, sales reports, etc.), there is a possibility of its uncontrolled leakage. Institutions such as e.g. banks, insurance or telecommunication companies...

The second part of October promises to be extremely busy. We will travel a lot and meet companies from all over the world. International fairs / conferences are waiting for us, during which we will present ProDevice data removal devices: degaussers and shredders. There will also be interesting lectures regarding the safe data removal from storage media.

The introduction of GDPR in Europe in 2018, and the consequent implementation of similar Local Data Protection Regulations in the majority of Countries, has increased the awareness of companies, institutions and business entities of the importance of adopting the most secure and advanced tools and technologies of data protection.A data breach or a data loss is not just a huge economical and financial issue, but also reputational damage which can direct potential customers to competing companies. One of the most effective methods of removing data from magnetic media is degaussing - the media is exposed to a strong magnetic field...

For the data to be effectively removed, the electromagnetic field emitted by the device should be much higher than the magnetic coercivity of the carrier. *Not re-usable after degaussing – after demagnetization, the carrier is no longer usable Other carriers and devices such as SSD memories, SD cards, mobile phones, smartphones, tablets etc. are only subject to physical destruction.
