BCWipe Software (€40) From Jerico Compatible With Windows 8

Jetico
Inc.
announced that their BCWipe
software
to permanently delete files, will now support Windows 8.

This update to the
wiping software features a solution to wipe free space on storage
spaces – introduced in the new OS to combine multiple HDDs into a
single virtual drive.

Jetico CEO Michael
Waksman proclaims: "BCWipe
is ready to go for Windows 8. So if you’re considering an upgrade to
the new operating system, you can continue to rely on the world’s
most powerful and trusted utility to wipe sensitive data. This update
to version 6 is available free of charge to any customer with an
active BCWipe license."

Once the command is
launched, the software reads the disk configuration and analyzes
Windows in order to exclude from the wiping process all unallocated
space (or the unused portion of free space). It only needs to run on
the allocated free space, which may contain sensitive information.

Waksman explains: "Less
space to clean means less time spent waiting for the wiping process
to finish. Despite
the complicated disk structures that form Storage Spaces, BCWipe is
still very simple – just as you would for a standard disk, you will
easily be able to wipe selected files and free space on Storage
Spaces."

Engineered for a range of users, its power brings peace of mind to information
assurance personnel clearing classified data and basic users at home
protecting their privacy. The program comes built with U.S.
Department of Defense (DoD 5220.22-M) and U.S. Department of Energy
(DoE M 205.1-2) standards, plus a number of other popular wiping
standards.

BCWipe
– Enterprise
Edition

For
central management of wiping activities, the company also offers an
Enterprise Edition of BCWipe. In addition to centralized deployment
and monitoring, it features Enforcer to remotely wipe selected data
without end-user intervention. With this tool wiping tasks are
invisible to end-users and can be run without the user being logged
in.
