The Crypto Erase Conundrum: What’s Your Organization’s Risk Tolerance?

Many organizations rely on deleting or ‘forgetting’ the drive’s main encryption key to render the drive’s data unrecoverable, a process known as cryptographic erasure (Crypto Erase). But depending on your organization’s risk tolerance, Crypto Erase may or may not be the best solution for your business.

Crypto Erase has a reputation for being a quick and effective way to remove data from hard disk drives. In fact, it’s one of the three methods to achieve data sanitization and ensure your organization’s data is completely removed and can’t be recovered by any standard forensic means.
