Prevent Dangerous Information Leaks with Computer Disposals or Returns
April 14, 2006 - EAST Technologies has released East-Tec DisposeSecure 2006Enterprise, a powerful software application that completely and securely removes alldatafrom hard drives or disk partitions before return of leased assets or computerdisposal.
Companies resell or donate outdated computers, reassign them to different departmentsand personnel, or remove them from operation when they upgrade hardware or migrate tonewer operating systems. Private users resell or give away their obsolete systems afterupgrading to newer and faster computers. But nobody wants to give away the entirehistoryand data from that old computer, although this is exactly what happens if you don'ttakeextra precautions.
Deleting files, formatting the hard disk or even using the FDISK utility will notdestroy data, itwill only prevent the operating system and normal software from accessing it. Thisis notenough to stop even a simple recovery utility to retrieve valuable corporate tradesecrets,business plans, personal files, confidential letters, or traces of Internet ornewsgroupactivity.
