You can use a hammer, soak your computer in water (or gasoline), etc.
But deleting data often leaves the data intact, meaning your buyer on eBay, or your local dumpster diver now has your data.
Especially now in a work-from-home world, employees are dealing with high quantities of sensitive data sent to their personal devices for temporary use…
Of course, they are instructed to delete after use…or securely store.
Unfortunately, most do not know how to do this.
Many are sharing a server with their gaming teenager…
Suddenly, company data is available via an unsecured server to every gamer their teen is chatting with…
Whether you are replacing your device or simply using it at home on a personal network, it’s critical to understand secure methods for wiping data from your devices.

Educate now – prevent disaster down the road.
