An organization is replacing its outdated technology systems that are no longer supported. What should be the primary action taken regarding the equipment being retired?
Transfer the data to a cloud service directly from the legacy systems after appropriate preparation.
Format the hard drives and store the equipment in a secure location as a backup.
Ensure the elimination of sensitive data from the hardware before retirement.
Remove the hardware but retain data on it in case it is needed later.
Ensuring the elimination of sensitive data from retired hardware is crucial to prevent potential data breaches. This action needs to involve secure methods of data removal that make information irretrievable. Other options state concrete activities, but they do not necessarily result in the correct outcome. These options do not result in proper data deletion, risking exposure to unauthorized access and undermining the organization's data security posture.
