The Problem:
Formatting a disk or deleting files DOES NOT remove the information from disk! "Format" and "Delete" are routines that only remove pointers and leave data intact! And this definition should be trusted, because it is given by the United States Department of Defense!
You already know that computers are given away, traded with other computers, swapped around, reassigned to different departments or personnel or removed from operation. What you may don't know is that when you give away an older computer, you actually give away the entire history of that computer, and a lot of sensitive data. You give away:
private e-mail messages
valuable corporate trade secrets
business plans
personal files or confidential letters
bank or credit card information
Anyone with a low cost and easy to use disk utility can recover this information! Even from a deleted file or from a formatted disk!
The Solution:
East-Tec DisposeSecure Enterprise is a software product designed to remove all traces of information from a hard disk. East-Tec DisposeSecure completely eliminates data from the entire hard disk: every sector and every bit of information is overwritten and destroyed beyond recovery.
East-Tec DisposeSecure is based on the East-Tec Advanced Data Removal Technology, a collection of highly secure data removal capabilities designed to provide protection against ALL methods of data recovery.
The East-Tec Advanced Data Removal Technology and the East-Tec DisposeSecure product offer the following features and capabilities:
The ability to remove sensitive information from all areas of the disk and the ability to provide protection against all methods and equipments of data recovery
Data removal methods that meet and exceed the United States Department of Defense standards
Powerful verification capabilities that give the user the utmost assurance that all data has been completely removed from disk
The ability to maintain detailed logs of all sanitizing operations, that can be printed and saved for permanent records
Works with both IDE/ATA and SCSI disk drives
The ability to sanitize any floppy or hard disks connected to the computer, regardless of the file system and the operating system that resides on each drive (works with FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, DOS, Windows 3.x, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Unix, etc.)
NOTE: East-Tec DisposeSecure Enterprise is a software product designed to sanitize storage media. According to the United States Air Force, sanitizing means removing all traces of information from a hard disk "in a manner that gives assurance that the information is unrecoverable by any means". Sanitizing (also called purging) defeats attempts to recover information based upon a technical attack, such as undelete software, sector editors, and more advanced methods.
