"As SSDs gain in popularity for applications ranging from tablets to mass storage devices, fully erasing data from their complex flash-based memory poses new technical challenges," said Markku Willgren, President, US Operations for Blancco. "Our Blancco 5 erasure software is a major breakthrough, as it automatically detects SSDs and removes the freeze lock function, allowing access to the entire memory for thorough sanitization of SSDs."
Blancco 5 automatically produces auditable erasure reports, helping enterprises meet compliance and corporate responsibility goals. The software's fast, simultaneous erasure of multiple drives is executed several ways, including on-site methods and remote erasure over a network using the centralized Blancco Management Console.
Also, data centers can erase return merchandise authorization (RMA) drives that are detached from their original host systems with the new Blancco RMA-8 hardware appliance. It is pre-loaded with Blancco 5, which retains sector-size formatting, enabling OEM warranty returns.
At InfoSec World Booth #201, Blancco will demonstrate SSD erasure using Blancco RMA-8 and offer a white paper highlighting best practices for SSD erasure. Visitors can enter to win Blancco Toolkit, a portable erasure solution powered by Blancco 5.
