Proton Data Security Helps Protect the Cloud and Everyday Businesses

A single stray hard drive can cost a business millions, but Proton Data Security’s products make is simple to erase data quickly and permanently

ATLANTA – July 11, 2017 /MarketersMedia/ —

As one of the world’s leading providers of data destruction equipment, Proton Data Security makes it simple to ensure that decommissioned hard drives will not contribute to costly breaches. By making disciplined use of an NSA listed degausser from Proton Data Security, cloud providers and data centers that need to safely retire old drives can make their work far easier and more secure. Adding a Proton Data Security hard drive degausser to any office can guarantee that data on obsolete disk drives can be destroyed for good and never fall into the hands of criminals or competitors. From SMBs becoming serious about security to data centers, healthcare organizations, and BFSI companies that must comply with standards like HIPAA, PCI DSS, Gramm-Leach-Biley and those established by NIST, Proton Data Security has answers.

“Data security is an important issue for just about every company today, and our NSA- and DoD-compliant products make it simple to take care of some of the most important related responsibilities,” said Proton Data Security Vice President Ryan Lobo. “Failing to destroy the data on a single hard drive or optical disk can cost a company millions of dollars and undo far too much hard work. Our products render data completely unrecoverable, ensuring that expensive, dangerous problems like these cannot arise. From cloud-focused companies and data centers to everyday businesses, our simple, affordable degaussers, shredders, and other products have what it takes to ensure data security.”

Modern hard disk drives can store trillions of bits of information in reliable, persistent fashion. They do so by setting and reading magnetic charges on microscopic parts of rapidly spinning platters. Because those charges persist until specifically altered or eliminated, even a hard drive that has been sitting unused on a shelf for years will typically retain its data. While it might be thought that simply erasing the files contained on a drive would be enough to prevent subsequent access, this often turns out not to be true at all. In fact, even purportedly “secure” software-based data erasure tools can leave behind traces that could be used by adversaries to reconstruct the data originally stored on a drive.

Proton Data Security is one of the world’s leading designers, manufacturers, and sellers of products designed to securely, permanently erase or destroy hard disk drives, optical disks, magnetic tapes, and the data they contain. With all of the company’s products being manufactured in the United States at an ISO 9001-compliant facility, National Security Agency and Department of Defense certifications attest to their effectiveness.
