Data Wiping

What is Data Wiping?

Why do you need data cleansing with Data Wiping? If not completely cleaned, the residual data known as Data Remanence will continue to exist after common activities such as "deleting" or moving a file.

Data cleansing is a cornerstone of data protection. The ability to safely and permanently wipe files and hard drives is essential to keeping your data safe and out of the wrong hands.

Default file deletion removes only references to files while the contents remain intact on the hard drive in various locations, such as free space and file slack. The confidential files that you intended to delete can be easily restored with widely available deletion tools in Data Wiping.

Cleanup is a term used to describe the process of destroying the contents of a file or disk space in addition to recovery. Routine use of cleaning tools can remove the pain of data remanence and truly protect your sensitive data from unwanted eyes.
