Destruction of Optical, Flash, and Other Media
Technology has advanced at a remarkable pace, allowing vast amounts of data to be stored on small devices that once required entire rooms of storage. As a result, the potential impact of losing access to or failing to securely account for such technology is significant.
While most media can be wiped or formatted, these methods do not guarantee complete data destruction. For this reason, many large corporations and government agencies require the physical destruction of media to ensure data cannot be recovered.
Though some media may be encrypted, many companies still use unencrypted devices and, in some cases, even write the encryption keys directly onto the equipment. This presents a serious risk to data security.
To guarantee the permanent destruction of digital data, certified physical destruction is essential. Destroytech utilizes industry-leading UNTHA shredding technology to completely dismantle and shred media, ensuring data is irretrievable and cannot be reconstructed.
It’s important to remember that not all devices storing sensitive data are disks or memory sticks. IT appliances like firewalls, which store confidential browsing histories and settings, also need to be securely destroyed. The responsibility for safeguarding your data extends to all equipment that stores it.
