Even though the world is starting to enter the post-pandemic era, many companies are not getting rid of the hybrid working environment, creating a bigger attack surface for cyber felons and posing risk to digital data. Since data has become a currency for cybercriminals, companies have become great targets for cyber felons. Data theft can cause major financial and reputational damage.However, many don’t consider that when disposing of devices without properly destroying the data stored in it, it’s not always enough to fry your device in a microwave. And even if the data on that device was encrypted with a...

What role does data destruction play in cybersecurity? An article on effective data destruction has been published in the latest CISO magazine. It was written by the ProDevice expert Davide Maddalozzo in cooperation with lnxnetwork company. The magazine is addressed to professionals who read about technology, cybersecurity, ICT and more.

WHAT SHOULD WE DO WITH DATA THAT WE NO LONGER USE OR THAT ISN’T RELEVANT TO OUR WORK ANYMORE? Do you think about how much time it takes to delete data from a storage media? How much time the IT team need to invest for this? And do you really permanently and securely remove sensitive information from company storage media? CyberSafe and ProDevice invite you to participate next March 31, at 10:00 a.m., in our webinar about data destruction in cybersecurity. ProDevice is a global manufacturer of data destruction technologies. ProDevice offers high-quality, innovative solutions for the safe and irreversible...

Isn’t it ironic?For years there has been a lot of talk about cybersecurity. Everyone defends themselves against break-ins and data theft by using various firewalls, anti-virus, complicated passwords, MFA and encryption, investing a whole load of time, money and energy. Then after that all the data amassed in smartphones, disks and other electronic carriers is tossed in the trash immediately after formatting, or fried in microwave ovens, or smashed with a hammer in the belief that this is enough…But these methods only work in movies. Why? See our new movie and get the answer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRZghzdRbSg&t=2s

Do you know the individual data destruction methods? Do you know what is the difference between disk demagnetization (disk degauusing) 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 out it, it is necessary to use a special device, which is 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...

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 data carriers for...

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 fast 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...

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...
