Data - executive in-person roundtable lunch
Kill Data, Not Devices: How to Embrace the Next Generation of Data Sanitization
25th of April | 12 pm - 2 pm
The Dylan, Amsterdam
Physically destroying assets can be unsustainable, inefficient, insecure, and even non-compliant. To minimize risk exposure, faster, more immediate, and thorough data sanitization strategies are recommended.
Join our roundtable where we will evaluate the industry’s most prevalent data sanitization approach, including its benefits and pitfalls. We’ll also discuss the next generation method of sanitization, software-based data erasure.
Discussion topics
The largely unknown security shortfalls of the prevalent data sanitization method
Impacts of physical destruction on your ESG (environmental, social, and governance) goals and global ecosystems
The alternatives to current methods that provide more efficient business and improved compliance outcomes
How some organizations are taking an active role in protecting data, their firms’ reputations, and the environment
