With the average cost of a single data breach exceeding $3
million globally, according to a Ponemon Institute study titled "Five
Countries: Cost of Data Breach," it is easy to see why the digital
world will gather to focus on managing trust and security at the 2012

demonstrate the vital role that data erasure plays in digital
security, Blancco [http://www.blancco.com ], the global leader in
