data erasure

Software-driven data erasure could also be compromised by malicious code.

By accessing the entire hard drive, data erasure eliminates the risk of data remanence.

Software-based data erasure uses a special application to write a combination of ones and zeroes onto each hard drive sector.

Data erasure is term that refers to software-based methods of preventing file undeletion.

Data erasure offers an alternative to physical destruction and degaussing for secure removal of all the disk data.

Data erasure can be deployed over a network to target multiple PCs rather than having to erase each one sequentially.

Complete data erasure should account for hidden areas, typically DCO, HPA and remapped sectors.

As she entered the Data Erasure room, she heard Larry Asher's inane, cawing laughter above the gen- eral chuckles.

Unlike degaussing and physical destruction, which render the storage media unusable, data erasure removes all information while leaving the disk operable, preserving IT assets and the environment.

Permanent data erasure goes beyond basic file deletion commands, which only remove direct pointers to the data disk sectors and make the data recovery possible with common software tools.

Increased storage of sensitive data, combined with rapid technological change and the shorter lifespan of IT assets, has driven the need for permanent data erasure of electronic devices as they are retired or refurbished.

Data erasure is a method of software-based overwriting that completely destroys all electronic data residing on a hard drive or other digital media to ensure that no sensitive data is leaked when an asset is retired or reused.
