sept.-1, 2010 ·

Security of your stored data is not limited to client PCs and removable storage devices; it also includes document images that are stored on the hard disk drives in copier as well as printer systems. In ensuring data security at this level, Toshiba has developed a new data security technology. Toshiba’s new “Wipe Technology” has been designed to ensure improved data security and reduce the risk of data leakage that are associated with document image data stored on copier and printer systems. Wipe comes with new capabilities such as world’s first ability for sensitive user data to be securely erased in an event when a system is powered off or when a SED HDD is removed from the system. This feature can also be used for erasing user data prior to returning a leased system, system disposal or re-purposing the system.
Toshiba’s Wipe technology can be used to set data invalidation attributes for multiple data ranges. Attributes includes, data encryption and secure invalidation on power cycle, and data encryption and preservation on power cycle
