Network Security White Papers

Avoiding Self-Inflicted Security Breaches Through Effective Hard Drive Decommissioning

Overview Every business has data that must be destroyed. According to a NAID report of a Conference Board survey, data security has become a primary concern for top executives. While hackers and viruses present a constant threat, a study by Gartner indicates that 90% of all security breaches were "Self-inflicted." In other words, these problems were avoidable if the company took the right steps. One area that is often misunderstood, or completely overlooked, is hard drive decommissioning - the process of removing data from a drive prior to disposal or recycling. While there are several methodologies for eliminating data from hard drives, there are problems with each method.
