In today’s world, personal information is so valuable and exchanged online for top dollar.
What is Data Destruction?
Data destruction is the process of destroying data that is stored on hard drives or disks, tapes or other forms of electronic media so that it can never be accessed by anyone else. This data is destroyed so that if anyone else gets access to the device there is absolutely no way for them to get anything from it. The goal of data destruction is to make it completely unrecoverable regardless of how it was originally stored. The process also includes ensuring that the data cannot be recovered and used for unauthorized purposes.
A recent study shows that less than 10% of all hard drives sold second-hand still hold personal information and did not have data destroyed before the next user purchased it. There are different types of data destruction from wiping out the device, overwriting data, electronic shredding and reformatting.
