Role of IT in Managing End of Life Technology
Control Costs – keep the end in mind
Go Green – reduce, reuse, and recycle
Protect the data!

Importance of Media TrackingTracking – Documentation – Verification
Linking data: chain of custody
Verification reporting
Label generation

Sanitization ProcessesTwo Previous Sanitization Processes
• Clear media and re-use (3 pass overwrite)
• Purge (degauss)
![Page 6: Media Sanitization at the Idaho National Laboratory Jonathan Bates NLIT 2009.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110103/56649e995503460f94b9c4db/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Clearing and Reusing
• Pros
– Media can be reused
• Cons
– Increased management complexity =
– Increased security risk
![Page 7: Media Sanitization at the Idaho National Laboratory Jonathan Bates NLIT 2009.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110103/56649e995503460f94b9c4db/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Pros
– Fast purging of Magnetic Media
Degaussing Pros and Cons
• Cons– Media appeared to be intact
after degaussing– Time spent in tracking and
labeling degaussed media– Stacked media on pallets had
to be stored in open area due to space needs
– Increased auditor visits because media appeared to be fit for use

Taking sanitization to the next level
• Changes needed to streamline our processes and tighten security
– Reduce footprint
– Reduce validation costs
– Reduce time sanitizing media
– Reduce time tracking media
– Reduce security risk of data leakage

Our Solution… Destroy
• Drive Disintegrator– Compact: 5 feet wide x 9 feet long x 8
feet high
– Can disintegrate 20 drives per hour
– Automated self-feed feature
– Reduces media to ¼ inch unrecognizable fragments
– Destroyed 7,456 drives last year!

Challenges
Disintegrator design is critical
• Mechanical
• Operational
• Maintenance
Disintegrator vs. Shredder
![Page 11: Media Sanitization at the Idaho National Laboratory Jonathan Bates NLIT 2009.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110103/56649e995503460f94b9c4db/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Reduced Footprint• Shredded material requires less space to store
![Page 12: Media Sanitization at the Idaho National Laboratory Jonathan Bates NLIT 2009.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110103/56649e995503460f94b9c4db/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Increased Physical Access Control
• Reduced footprint allowed for move to new facility to improve security
– Work area is secured by cipher locks
– Hard drives and other media that are pending destruction are stored in a security cage within the work area, accessible only by key

Tighter Integration with Property Management
Educating Property Management and Disposal personnel on identifying types of equipment to be submitted for sanitization

Streamlined Tracking
• Need for continuous media tracking eliminated
– All drive media destroyed
• Redeployed computers receive new hard drive

The FutureContinual Improvement
Evaluating…
• User-based or distributed processes
• Sanitization methods for different media types
• How is your lab sanitizing media?
