Your company is decommissioning several old hard drives that contained sensitive customer data. Which method should you use to ensure that the data cannot be recovered and meets the highest security standards?
Low-level formatting
Standard formatting
Erasing/wiping
Degaussing
Degaussing is the process of erasing data from magnetic storage devices by using a powerful magnetic field. This process makes the data on the storage medium unrecoverable, meeting high security standards. Standard formatting and erasing do not completely eliminate data, and low-level formatting (while effective) is more complex and less practical compared to degaussing.
