The Newest Weapon in the War on Data Breaches

LINCOLN, Neb. - April 4, 2013 - PRLog -- LINCOLN, NE- Data Security, Inc. located in Lincoln, Nebraska, has just unveiled their new SSMD-2mm Destruction Device which disintegrates solid state and optical media to particles 2mm in size or smaller. The National Security Agency (NSA) has evaluated the SSMD-2mm Destruction Device and found it satisfies the requirements of the NSA/CSS 9-12 Storage Device Declassification Policy Manual.

Everyone’s data is at risk. Without even realizing, we store personal information about ourselves on our cell phones, tablets, etc. every day. Each time we make a purchase, check our balance, or even check our flight status, more personal information is unknowingly saved to those devices. Not to mention information we intentionally save on these and other devices like SSD or thumb drives. Without proper disposal, your information can be recovered putting you at risk.

Solid State Drives (SSD) and solid state media, record information differently than traditional Hard Disk Drives (HDD); Solid State use assemblies of integrated circuits to store data, Hard Disks use magnetic platters. Since SSD’s do not use magnetic materials, they are unable to be erased using a degausser like traditional HDD and must be physically destroyed.

The National Security Agency’s specification for the destruction of solid state is a 2mm particle size.  Data Security, Inc.’s SSMD-2mm is the first device of its kind to safely destroy solid state media including cell phones, tablets, memory cards, thumb drives as well as optical media like CDs and DVDs under these requirements. Data Security, Inc.’s President, Eric Schafer, said, “Users can finally come to one company for all of their media sanitization needs.”

Renee Schafer, Director of Sales and Marketing, said, “The device is very user-friendly with simple, push button operation. You can simply turn it on and the display tells you when to feed the machine and when to empty the bin.”

The SSMD-2mm is the first office-appropriate disintegrator for solid state media. The SSMD-2mm is also intended for longevity. Unlike typical disintegrators, the SSMD-2mm’s parts do not have to be replaced as frequently. In fact, several parts can be reused, rotated or adjusted to extend life before replacement is necessary.  

“Customers continually comment it was the most user friendly destroyer they have worked with,” Eric Schafer remarked, “It exceeds their expectations in every way.”

Data Security, Inc. is a locally owned and operated company that has been manufacturing media destruction and sanitization equipment for more than 27 years.
