Abstract
The need to eradicate recorded data on storage devices and media is well understood, but the technologies and methodologies to do it correctly can be elusive. A number of new standards build on ISO/IEC 27040 (Storage security) and IEEE 2883-2022 (Standard for Storage Sanitization), and provide clarity on how organizations can evaluate their security needs. This session will also describe pending revisions of existing standards related to data sanitization, as well as the relationships between the standards developed by various organizations, such as IEEE-SA, ISO/IEC, and NIS.
