Use of prescribed safeguards and controls taken to prevent reconstruction of magnetic remanence
Remanence Security Methods
Process of eradicating data on media before reused in an environment providing an acceptable level of protection for data
Clearing
Process of recording new data on top of already stored data thus destroying old data
Overwriting
Trained individual (not overwriter) randomly samples 20% of disk
Overwrite Verification

Sanitizing
Process of erasing magnetic media by eliminating any remnant magnetic fields. The preferred method of of sanitizing magnetic media
Degaussing
Act of physically destroying media making it unusable by no exploitation method
Physical Destruction
Methods of physical destruction include…?
Shredding, burning, crushing, acid wash, breaking, and surface scratching
