What activity involves the safe disposal or repurposing of resources to prevent unauthorized access or data leakage after they are no longer actively used by an organization?

This ensures that all data is securely erased and cannot be accessed or leaked when the resource is disposed of or repurposed. It is essential as part of an organization's information security and risk-management strategy.
