Recently, in a post published at bobsguide, IT expert and Imprima Torgny Gunnarsson stated that Online Trust reported that 740 million online records containing sensitive data were exposed in 2013. In the same year, Adobe lost user information for 33 million customers because of hacking. 40 million Target shoppers had their credit card details accessed by hackers. It was the worst year for data breaches yet.
It isn’t just hackers that are creating data security risks, however, Gunnarsson wrote. The UK government experienced several non-hacker breaches. The breaches, such as stolen USB sticks and health service computers sold on eBay without removing private data from them first.
Data security at banks, governments and large organizations must use an abundance of caution to protect data containing the personal information of individuals or sensitive company information. One of the ways to do this is through the use of data crushers like those made by Phiston Technologies. Our NSA evaluated data crushers are space-conscious. They can still deliver 40,000 pounds of force in order to ensure that hard drives are unreadable. Our products can also destroy CDs, USB sticks, cell phones, circuit boards, laptops, and more.
Phiston’s data crushers are fully automatic and hands-free to protect the safety of users of the devices. They plug into a power outlet and provide total data destruction in a matter of seconds. They can destroy a large quantity of data before emptying, saving you time and effort.
