With more employees working from home, you might be concerned about sensitive material that your employee manages every day. Whether it’s company information or sensitive personnel data, there are many instances where you wouldn’t want that information being hacked or public knowledge. In an office setting, you can streamline data destruction. However, there are limited resources available to ensure that your company is protected from a data breach at home. While your employees are working from home, you may not know where to start to make sure that your data is safe and you are protected. Luckily, there are safe, effective, and convenient options for your employees to dispose of equipment that contains sensitive information.
Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Destroyers
A HDD destroyer is a great tool to keep your data safe when your employees are using HDD’s at home. A HDD destroyer is a compact and portable way to destroy data straight from the source. Since HDDs save and retrieve digital data, they are one way that a data breach could occur. A portable HDD destroyer is perfect for home office workers to safely dispose of their HDD. It works by crushing the HDD’s magnetic data storage platters, rendering them useless for data retrieval.
Solid-State Drive (SSD) Destroyers
Solid-state drivers are a new generation of data-storing components. They completely replace the hard disks by using flash-based memory systems. It actually make them faster than their HHD counterparts, so they are very popular in the workplace. A SSD destroyer works similarly to that of a HDD destroyer in that it completely mangles the system, making it unable to retrieve data. Even if you don’t have SSD technology, they are also good for destroying flash drives, cell phones, and other smaller devices that your employees may be working with at home.
