People who care about data security in enterprises or institutions are well aware of the obligation to remove information from media effectively and safely. A demagnetizer (degausser) is a device that, thanks to its strong magnetic field, irrevocably erases data from magnetic media: hard drives, floppy disks, magnetic tapes. Why is it worth buying a degausser? You act in accordance with the law.In Europe, the issue of secure data destruction is regulated by GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). There are serious financial sanctions for non-compliance with procedures.You will comply with internal company regulations.Internal regulations oblige you to irretrievably remove unnecessary...

There are quite a few facts and myths about the degaussing process. see the most popular ones. Data after degaussing of the medium can be recovered.Myth. This is not possible if the degaussing process has been carried out correctly. With a degausser you can delete data from DVD, CD, SSD media.Myth. The degausser erases data only from magnetic media (HDDs, magnetic tapes, floppy disks, etc.). The demagnetized medium is not suitable for further use.Fact. After demagnetization, the media cannot be reused – servo paths are completely erased. Each degausser erases the dataMyth. For the data to be effectively removed, the...

Physical media destruction with the ProDevice DGX02 shredder is an ideal solution for enterprises and institutions that care about the protection of sensitive data. The device is equipped with dedicated cutting knives, made of steel of appropriate hardness, which destroy tapes for streamers, floppy disks, optical disks, 2.5 and 3.5 “hard drives, thermal transfer ribbons, Flash media, SSD disks, telephones, tablets and laptops. The cutted media go to a special container. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fl2VLymYO2o

Buy a degausser and / or a media shredder? Or maybe spend money on other purposes? Does my company really need this type of device or is it an unnecessary fad? Important data on storage media Devices for destroying data from electronic media can be successfully used in both small and medium-sized and large enterprises. Certainly, they must be used wherever confidential and secret data is stored, requiring high protection, and its leakage can cause serious problems to the enterprise. On media, such as disks, backup tapes and even printers, information is stored about the company’s development strategy, marketing and...

Enterprises and institutions are legally obliged to delete data from electronic media, which they submit for repair, liquidation or sale. How to effectively get rid of this information? For magnetic media, a great way to “clean” them is to use a professional degausser. The data from flash media cannot be successfully removed with this kind of device. In our research and development center we are working hard on inventing a technology that would destroy the structure of flash / SSD memory. These days, however, to get rid of data from this type of media, use a physical shredder. Manual data...

Institutions and enterprises, in accordance with applicable regulations, are obliged to ensure the security of information they store. What if there is a need to get rid of particularly sensitive data saved on electronic media? It is worth knowing some key principles how to proceed so that they are removed in a safe and irreversible way. SEARCH FOR A SPECIALIZED SERVICE PROVIDER Use only the services of companies that specialize in the field of data deletion. The extremely low price for the destruction of e.g. one disk should always be a warning signal. It is worth checking then what qualifications...

In our R&D centrer, the microscope is used, among others, to research on the new concept of data removal from flash memory. Optical precision of the microscope allows for disassembly and thorough cleaning of integrated circuits, which are later tested for resistance to severe environmental conditions in which they are placed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bWdtqX93aQ

Solid-state drives are gaining popularity not only in laptops, but also in desktops. SSD (Solid State Drive) is memory in the form of NAND flash memory. The lack of typical HDD heads and spinning platters brings SSD several benefits (including greater resistance to shocks and damage). It is known, however, that they have a serious disadvantage, which is particularly important not only to the point of view of enterprises, institutions and government agencies, but also for the”average Joe”. It is much difficult to delete data from carriers of this type than from typical HDDs. The reason for this is the...

Data removal from the operating system level is an ineffective method of data deletion from the medium, which is a hard drive. Nowadays, data recovery is not a problem. To permanently remove data from the HDD, you must use an effective and safe method – demagnetization. And how to destroy a hard disk? Ideally in a physical way, through its crushing, fragmentation or grinding. Demagnetization uses a special device, which is a degausser, generating a strong magnetic field, which disorganizes the magnetic domain setting of the carrier: it destroys, for example, servo information and calibration information. To remove data from...

We would like to invite you to watch our new movie showing how the ProDevice ASM120 degausser is being prepared for shipment. The case and fixing bolts are sealed first. Then the device is packed and sent to the customer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_KBpE83iHA
