Data erasure has become an integral part of storage media life cycle management. It is inconceivable to throw away hard drives after simply deleting all the files. Deletion does nothing more than remove metadata while the core data remains intact.

According to research conducted by IBM, the average data breach cost now stands at $4.35 million. With Statista reporting 52 million data breaches in Q2, 2022 it is a headache indeed for CEOs and CIOs.
