BitRaser Software-Based Data Erasure by Stellar Data Recovery

Stellar Data Recovery, Inc. demonstrated its software-based data erasure BitRaser and BitRaser for File product suite at NAID (National Association for Information Destruction, Inc.) conference.

The company raises concern over traditional data destruction techniques like HDD shredding and HDD grinding which generates toxic electronic wastes that adversely impact environment.

At his booth, the firm has showcased its technology in data erasure and will demonstrate how choosing a software based data erasure is much efficient, cost-effective, and eco-friendly way of erasing data over traditional data destruction techniques like HDD shredding.

The BitRaser offers certified and secure data erasure software for a range of IT assets, including HDDs, SSDs, mobile devices, files.

Live demonstrations/sessions included:

• Secure data destruction methods, risks, and concerns

• How BitRaser ensures data is permanently and verifiably erased from a device

• How BitRaser is more cost-effective than usual destruction method; instead of paying a data destruction service to throw away a drive, erase the data and then re-use it or resell it to keep the environment clean.

The world generates at least 3.5 million tons of solid waste a day, ten times the amount a century ago, according to World Bank research. An estimated 50 million tons of e-waste are produced worldwide each year. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), 80 to 85% of this amount goes directly into landfills and incinerators. The informal nature of many recycling practices of e-waste especially in developing countries is growing exponentially thereby causing serious environmental hazard.

The BitRaser complies with 27 International standards like U.S. Department of Defense (Standard 5220.22-M), NIST, etc. to erase files and folders completely from HDDs beyond the scope of data recovery with no carbon footprint.

“We are excited to demonstrate environment friendly, secure and certified data erasure product suite at NAID 2018 which is the best place to see first-hand new and innovative technologies in data destruction. Our new data erasure software BitRaser will help enterprises and users to completely wipe data from devices in a most secured manner and also help protect the environment,” said Sunil Chandna, CEO, Stellar Data Recovery.
