Proton Data Security Helps Protect Cloud and Everyday Businesses

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

ATLANTA – July 19, 2017 /MarketersMedia/ —

As the world’s leading provider of data destruction equipment, Proton Data Security makes it simple to ensure decommissioned hard drives will not contribute to costly data breaches. By utilizing a 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 degausser to any work environment guarantees that data on obsolete disk drives is erased for good and will never fall into the hands of criminals or competitors. From SMBs becoming serious about security, to data centers, healthcare and BFSI organizations, Proton Data Security has answers for companies that must comply with standards like HIPAA, PCI DSS, Gramm-Leach- Biley and those established by NIST.

“Most people don’t consider the amount of data a single hard drive holds or the massive amount of hard drives it takes to power ‘the cloud’ ,” said Proton Data Security Vice President, Ryan Lobo. “In order to keep the cloud and businesses running, countless hard drives are replaced daily. Surprisingly, many organizations don’t take proper steps to protect data on these failed or retired drives. Some even hire a third-party service provider to handle their sensitive data, which is very risky and has led to data breaches in the past.”

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 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 turns out not to be true at all. In fact, even purportedly ‘secure’ software-based data erasure tools leave behind traces that can be used by adversaries to reconstruct the data originally stored on a drive.

“Our NSA – and DoD compliant products render data completely unrecoverable and make it easy for organizations to erase data immediately and on-site. From the largest data centers in the world to everyday businesses, our product range has what it takes to ensure data loss does not occur” said Lobo.
