An organization is implementing a media management program for securing sensitive data. Which of the following represents the most appropriate media management practice for handling storage devices that have reached EOL?
Media sanitization
Media access control
Media inventory control
Media encryption
Media sanitization is the proper practice for handling storage devices that have reached end-of-life (EOL). When media containing sensitive information is no longer needed, it must be properly sanitized to ensure data cannot be recovered. This involves processes such as secure wiping, degaussing, or physical destruction depending on the media type and sensitivity of the information. Simply discarding media without proper sanitization can lead to data breaches through dumpster diving or other means. While encryption helps protect data during use, and inventory control tracks media during its lifecycle, neither addresses the secure disposal requirement. Access controls are important during media use but don't address EOL concerns.
