Secure Data Destruction
This includes books and any paper written material. If you have any paper that contains sensitive information, it should be shredded. To help you with the shredding, you should have a shredder in your home or office. For proper shredding you can either strip cut or cross-cut the papers. While cross-cutting the paper media aids in destruction of the data, it usually makes re-assembly much more difficult. Electronic media The best way of destroying data in electronic media depends on whether the media is magnetic or optical. If the media is magnetic, you can destroy the data by degaussing, over-writing, or mangling. Degaussing: removable disks such as floppies, ZIP disks and others can be degaussed using a degausser. You should note that the size of the media is the one that dictates the degausser that you should use. If you have a high coercivity magnetic media, you will be required to have a powerful degausser to do the work. 6TQGg6kO 3PRuxC3a Ga2Sr630 RpxGgDZE PSC1FMsV bnm...
