Your confidential documents can easily fall into the wrong hands when you sell, give away or dispose of your old PC, servers or hard drives. Identity theft is now a widespread security threat. This is because clicking on \u201cDelete\u201d does not mean your files are permanently deleted. Even formatting the hard disk is not enough to permanently delete data!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

Do not risk your confidential data!<\/h3>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

O&O SafeErase<\/a> permanently deletes your confidential data using recognized methods so that a recovery is never possible, not even when using the best file recovery software. Your company\u2019s servers are the places where all internal information such as customer data and the figures for the sales and bookkeeping departments are gathered. That also goes for the backups containing vital information collected over years. If you ever decide to replace a single disk or an entire server with a new one, the information contained on your old material can quickly turn into a major security risk.<\/p>\n

Protect yourself by letting O&O SafeErase permanently delete your worn out disks using scientifically recognized methods. There are a total of six deletion methods available to you, each one offering its own special type of deletion and level of security.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Securely erase an entire computer or server<\/h3>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Deleting the entire machine allows you to permanently delete all confidential files before you dispose of, sell, or give your computer away. All files, settings, applications and the operating system itself are deleted so that a file recovery is impossible. You can be sure that nobody will ever restore your confidential information and misuse it, protecting yourself against identity theft. With O&O SafeErase<\/a> you can even delete an entire machine without a start medium (e.g. a Boot CD). <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Six methods for your security<\/h3>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Choose from six different deletion methods depending on your needs. The methods of deletion differ in their number of runs and the overwrite process itself. Besides standardized deletion methods used by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) you can choose a complex mathematical method (Gutmann-Method), which is in line with the highest security requirements. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Use O&O SafeErase without prior installation<\/h3>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you want to use O&O SafeErase on multiple computers and servers, we recommend our bootable Admin Pack O&O BlueCon<\/a>. This may be used on all computers within the company where this admin possesses the necessary permissions.<\/p>\n

In the event you wish to offer secure data deletion as part of your IT services on outside machines, the bootable O&O BlueCon Technician Edition<\/a> is just right for you. The Technician Edition is licensed for use as part of a company\u2019s external service providing. It is licensed per technician who may then use this license to delete data on an unlimited number of computers. As a result of the bootable media running under Windows PE, there\u2019s not even any need for a working Windows environment.<\/p>\n
