Blancco White Paper Highlights Benefits of Efficient, Secure Management of Data Erasure Processes

Joensuu, Finland (ots/PRNewswire) -

Centrally managed, automated erasure of IT equipment
offers strategic

advantages for CIOs, IT Asset Managers, CISOs and other IT
Security Officers and

stakeholders

From the ongoing threat of data leaks to the proliferation of
data security regulations and shrinking staff and budgets,
information technology (IT) departments face a growing list of
security challenges. To fully eliminate the risk of potentially
costly data breaches, organizations must secure data on both active
and retired systems by adopting comprehensive data erasure as a best
practice. With a new white paper titled, "Managing Data Erasure in
the Enterprise: Automated Processes for Optimal Efficiency," Blancco
[http://www.blancco.com ], the global leader in data erasure and
computer reuse solutions, addresses how automated management of
erasure efficiently secures data without impacting IT resources.

In the paper, Blancco research uncovers the advantages that
certified data erasure
[http://www.blancco.com/en/benefits/most-certified-data-erasure ] - a
software-based approach for overwriting and fully eliminating all
electronic information - offers over physical destruction of devices,
degaussing, encryption, re-formatting, and less comprehensive
software overwriting approaches.

"Data erasure management with advanced erasure technology offers
the ultimate first line of defense by completely ridding equipment of
sensitive information, while also improving IT staff efficiency with
a capability to erase 200-plus devices simultaneously, " said Kim
Vaisanen, CEO and Co-Founder of Blancco. "With automated removal of
data using technology that provides proof in a detailed report,
organizations are assured that data is protected and regulatory audit
concerns are addressed, without impacting the productivity of
resources and overall operations."

Commonly assumed to be an end-of-lifecycle activity only, data
erasure is also often necessary in the early phases of an asset's use
when certain temporary confidential information is no longer needed.
Advanced data erasure tools, Blancco notes in the paper, can target
the erasure of individual files and folders on active systems, which
is an ideal way to remove temporary credit card, customer, and
proprietary data. By automating data destruction on a time or event
driven basis, advanced erasure secures information on active local or
remote servers and computers, making day-to-day data shredding an
easy prospect.

An advanced and centralized data erasure solution also provides a
quick, automated and secure means of saving both time and money while
ensuring protection of sensitive data, according to the white paper.
With automated data erasure features, IT departments can gain the
fastest and most customized approach possible using an enhanced and
expedited erasure, reporting and auditing process.
