Media Destruction: Is Your Hard Drive Really Erased? • Phiston Technologies

Though you may be vigilant in erasing sensitive information from your hard drive, have you ever wondered if all the information is really erased? Just one misstep in the process can render your sensitive information accessible to prying eyes. The only way to ensure your company and customer data is safe is to practice media destruction, rather than erasure.

When erasing items off your computer or printer, you aren’t actually deleting the information. The right software can retrieve the “deleted” items. This is due to the fact that deleted data leaves behind traces of data on your hard drive. These traces are called pointers. They can lead hackers right to your vital data.

Rendering your device hard drives useless is the only way to ensure nobody can access the data they contain. The first step to successful data deletion is keeping an inventory of sensitive data containing devices, including hard drives, flash drives, blu rays, CDs, and DVDs. When it’s time to dispose of these devices, you should destroy them completely rather than erase and toss them in the trash.

For media destruction devices, there are several different models available. Phiston’s media destruction devices are easy to use. You can mount them on a desktop. In addition, they guarantee the complete destruction of your media storage devices.

The Media Vise is 25″ tall and 12″ wide. You can place it virtually anywhere. The device uses crushing plates which deliver more than 40,000 pounds of force. These plates ensure complete hard drive and storage device total destruction. After the media device is destroyed, it is discharged into a disposal bin. It makes the entire process “hand off” as outlined in the NSA Specifications of Data Destruction.
