How to Secure Data Disposal?

• By Sinerji 3E Geri Dönüşüm ve Kazanım

Since the existence of humanity, there has been as much human data as there have been human beings. These data are sometimes human remains. Sometimes they were primitive shapes that people drew from one stone to another.

However, since human beings are a progressive and developing being, they made iron knives in the iron age, hunted and fed, and in the age of technology and communication, they invented the telephone and connected with people miles away. In the past, there were no electronic systems in some houses, and there was more than one phone, usually two. In this system, which is connected to the same line, while a member of the household was talking on the phone in the living room, another person could pick up the handset of the phone in the kitchen and hear it. This was data theft in old systems... But technological developments are unfortunately not only good. We hear from the news and many technology pages that people who want to use technology for their malicious purposes are doing data theft, sometimes by accessing the PC database, sometimes by accessing the operating systems of their mobile phones with fake software. At this point, new systems come into play, such as end-to-end encryption for online messaging, two-step verifications. And secure data destruction, which we hear and will hear a lot now.

It is said that a copy of our data recorded on computer or phone disks or hard disks always remains in the memory of those electronic parts. For this reason, even if a phone breaks down or a computer breaks down, a person with a system that can see the hard disk or memory will be able to reach what they want by simply obtaining the hard disk or phone memory. Every person's data is private. These are private places that cannot be touched without the permission of those persons. At this point, sensitive people who care about nature and care about recycling demand that their data be destroyed in a healthy and safe way when they want to recycle their phones and PCs. At this point, state-approved official institutions and organizations that perform secure data destruction come into play. People can make the savings they want about their data with government control in those secure units.
