Blancco White Paper Offers Mobile Data Erasure Best Practices for IT Asset Disposal Specialists

Joensuu, Finland (ots/PRNewswire) -

New document from global data erasure authority informs recycling
market about secure, efficient mass erasure of mobile devices

Blancco [http://www.blancco.com ], the global leader in data
erasure and computer reuse solutions, is working with international
industry leaders to inform the recycling market and others about the
importance of efficient and secure mass erasure of smartphones and
tablets. As part of that initiative, the company has developed a
comprehensive white paper
[http://www.blancco.com/en/solution-for-ITADs ] on the topic for IT
asset disposal specialists (ITADs) and recyclers to help their
customers stay in compliance with data protection laws and
regulations.

In addition, Blancco will exhibit at the Mobile World Congress
[http://campaign.blancco.com/mwc ] (MWC) February 25-28 in Barcelona,
an international thought leadership gathering to explore the world
impact of mobile technology, including building awareness of the
importance of secure data erasure from mobile devices. Blancco will
attend as a member of the Device Renewal Forum (DRF
[http://www.blancco.com/en/company-info/press-releases/2012/drf ]),
an industry group dedicated to expand the global growth of the device
renewal market.

"More than 1.68 billion wireless devices are produced yearly, but
less than 10 percent of them are recycled or renewed," said Kim
Vaisanen, CEO and Co-Founder of Blancco. "Our work with DRF, our
involvement in MWC and our release of the mobile white paper for ITAD
specialists are all part of our strategy to inform the recycling
market about how to efficiently and effectively remove all data from
mobile devices, and how the market can benefit from Blancco Mobile
[http://www.blancco.com/en/products/total-data-erasure/mobile ], our
mobile data erasure solution."

The new white paper [http://www.blancco.com/en/solution-for-ITADs
], "Managing and Automating Data Erasure for Mobile Devices:

Strategies for Recyclers and IT Asset Disposal Specialists,"
discusses the risks of improper decommissioning, the advantages of
advanced data erasure with detailed reporting and audit trails, and
methods with which ITADs can help their customers stay in compliance
with laws and regulations.

"The ability of ITADs to erase data simultaneously from different
types of smartphone and tablet platforms is essential to productive
operations," said Vaisanen. "For example, a single operator can erase
over 1,000 smartphones each day with our erasure units, which also
automatically send a detailed erasure report back to a central
management console. This report provides critical details for
customer compliance and potential resale."

Blancco's booth will be in Hall 5, Stand 5E90 at MWC where the
company will showcase its Blancco Mobile product, which has been
nominated as a finalist in the Global Mobile Awards Competition being
held at MWC. To set up a meeting visit
