ASCOMP has released version 7.103 of its Secure Eraser software, a utility designed to securely delete sensitive or private data from documents and drives. This software ensures that deleted data is irretrievable by overwriting it multiple times, employing various established data disposal methods. Users can have confidence that their sensitive information will be permanently erased, as Secure Eraser can overwrite data up to 35 times, making recovery impossible, even with advanced recovery tools.
The user-friendly interface is accessible to individuals of all skill levels, and the software allows for the deletion of files, folders, entire drives, and even data in the recycle bin, as well as traces left from browsing the web. Additionally, it can permanently eliminate files that have already been deleted. The application integrates easily into the workflow, enabling access through the right-click context menu for quick use.
Secure Eraser adheres to various stringent standards for data deletion, including U.S. DoD 5220.22-ME, U.S. DoD 5220.22-MECE, the German industrial standard, and the Peter Gutmann standard. Each deletion operation is meticulously logged, providing users with a report that confirms the success of the operation and the method used. However, users should be aware that the nature of this application may trigger alerts from some antivirus software.
For those looking for additional resources on data management, the software’s announcement includes references to related topics such as using Storage Sense to delete junk files in Windows and methods for securely deleting files through PowerShell and Cipher.
In summary, ASCOMP Secure Eraser 7.103 offers a robust solution for anyone needing to ensure their sensitive data is permanently erased, with a focus on user-friendliness and adherence to rigorous security standards
