What is electronic media?
Electronic Media is defined as any electronically generated storage that is used to record information, including, but not limited to hard disks, magnetic tapes, compact disks, video tapes, audio tapes, and removable storage such as floppy and zip disks.
Examples of electronic media that can be destroyed are:
- Audio tapes
- VHS cassette tapes
- Floppy disks
- Compact disks
- Microfiche
- Film on reels
- Hard drives
- Other data storage tapes
What is the most secure method of electronic media disposal?
Degaussing and overwriting may not lead to totally secure results when trying to remove confidential information from electronic media. Total destruction by shredding is the only sure way to ensure that for the secure disposal of electronic media.
