Does your organization dispose of solid-state drives while leaving data intact? Improper disposal of solid-state drives or SSDs can leave your data exposed to breaches. Modern computers and laptops use SSDs for quick boot drives and data storage as the technology becomes affordable and reliable.
Protect the Sensitive Information on Your Solid-State Drives
Many organizations have upgraded from hard disk drives to solid-state drives. Most modern business laptops include a SSD, and high-performance server systems take advantage of 3D NAND and NVMe technology in SSDs. SSDs have less longevity than magnetic HDDs due to their limited ability to write and erase the flash cells. This means your organization will likely have SSDs for disposal sooner than you might think. Does your organization have an efficient and secure method of destroying solid-state drives as they begin to degrade?
A wealth of data is accessible on solid-state drives long after removing them from production, and even if they are no longer working. When your SSDs retire due to malfunction or system upgrades, you must properly destroy the drive. Wiping the drive with software or disposing of broken drives is not enough to prevent a data breach by those with the tools and intent to recover the data from the drive.
