Data security nowadays is the burning issue not only for companies and government agencies, but rank and file people

as well. Our personality is now fully embedded in computer technology. It is computer you apply to when at work, it is

also computer you use at home for entertainment or as a reservoir for containing some valuable data such as personal

correspondence, banking account information, credit card numbers, financial records, whatever… It is obvious that this

kind of data should in no way be available to others. That is why, when disposing of a storage device (a hard disk or a

flash memory drive), the crucial thing is to make sure it does not contain any information, because simple deletion, or

even reformatting do not guarantee data security at all. To do that, you need a specially designed tool.
