News about the constantly developing battlefield of cyber warfare sometimes verges on an apocalyptic scene from a horror movie, threatening the unprecedented vulnerability of millions of people’s sensitive information. Knowing this, it makes sense for companies to invest some money to ensure that the system has full protection. All of the sensitive information stored on computers is not left unguarded and falls into the hands of those who would misuse it. However, it is vital to protect your computers not only while they are being used, but to ensure that no one can steal the information on them after you’re done with the computer. You wouldn’t leave the doors unlocked and sensitive files open on your computer for someone to walk in and take. Similarly, it would be foolish to dispose of a computer containing information in a potentially readable format.
The National Security Agency (NSA) has implemented standards for destroying data to render it unusable to prevent anyone from gleaning sensitive information from discarded hard drives. Whether your company meet these standards, or simply wishes to provide good service to your employees and customers by demonstrating fastidious concern to protect their valuable information, it’s wise to look into how your data destruction can achieve the NSA’s world class level of security.
MediaVise Compact
The MediaVise Compact is the first NSA-approved hard drive destruction device. It conveniently fits unobtrusively in an office setting. This device employs hydraulic pressure to apply a massive force to a hard drive — 40,000 pounds of pressure. This is more than double what other machines on the market can deliver. This force effectively warps as well as mangles your old hard drives. It leaves the data on them truly unreadable and also gives you peace of mind. The MediaVise Compact delivers these results quickly and reliably; it can destroy one hard drive in 30 seconds and up to 90 one-inch hard drives in only an hour. It can make your job of data protection, including hard drive destruction, easy, thus keeping you ahead of data pirates.
