Fundamentals of Storage Media Sanitation
Overview One of the most fundamental principles of information security is that it's all about the data. Data in transit or at rest is the primary focus of administrative, physical, and technical safeguards. Security professionals are doing better every day when it comes to protecting information in static production environments. But what happens when magnetic, optical, or semiconductor media is repurposed or retired? This paper defines media sanitation and how it fits into an overall security program. Next, the paper examines how attackers can extract information from electronic media - even after it's been overwritten. Finally, it explores ways one can protect the organization from attacks - both casual and highly motivated.
