Which preventative measure most effectively reduces the threat posed by dumpster diving to obtain confidential company data?
Train employees periodically on security practices
Keep detailed logs of trash disposal
Securely lock dumpsters containing sensitive trash
Use cross-cut shredders to destroy sensitive documents before disposal
Using cross-cut shredders for the disposal of sensitive documents is the most effective method for mitigating the risk of dumpster diving since it renders information unrecoverable. This strategy directly combats the extraction of readable or reusable data from discarded materials. While securely locking the dumpsters prevents immediate access, it does not permanently destroy the data, leaving it vulnerable if physical security is breached. Implementing rigorous trash disposal logs helps in traceability but does little to stop theft in progress. Conducting periodic security training raises awareness about the importance of proper document handling but doesn’t ensure the physical destruction of sensitive information.
