Data Management Podcast

Join us on the podcast today when we sit down with Noe Leiva to talk about the legal side of data protection."In the U.S. the philosophy behind data protection has been protecting financial harms. So, people in the US have been more concerned, historically speaking, with identity theft, use of your Social security numbers,  and taking out loans in their names.  In Europe the philosophy is very different and evolved very differently. During world war II governments were collecting an enormous about of data, personal data on their citizens. So that's why we see GDPR describe Religious affiliation as sensitive personal data.  How have these different philosophies shaped how we look at data privacy today?

It's not really free,  it costs you your data. We need to beware of who is getting our data and what they are doing with it.

How can the consumer profit instead?Hackers are using every avenue at their disposal to attempt to get personal data and mount an attack.

Find out how you can use WipeDrive's remote wiping to decrease your risk of a data leak Steve Mellings of ADISA joins us once more on the podcast. Today we make a case for remote wiping of data. Especially in an era of COVID when entire offices are working remote, many security risk were accepted in order to just get the job done. Now with a little more experience behind us, we are faced with dealing with additional challenges of the home office environment. Whether it is from a logistics standpoint, or the data security risk, corporations, ITADs, ITAM, and small businesses have new challenges to face. One of those risks is 'data in transit'. When devices being used in a remote office environment need to be replaced or become obsolete, how do you make sure the data is securely removed. Waiting until a device can be physically collected increases the risk of it being lost or stolen. The same risk applies to transporting that device. Is it being brought in by a trusted employee, shipped through the mail or picked up by a courier service. Every hand that touches the device, and every additional day in delay increase the risk of a data leak. What's the solution? Wipe the device at the source as soon as it becomes obsolete.Learn more about how WipeDrive Enterprise can help you keep your data secure.Get more podcasts by WipeDrive

I had the distinct pleasure of going out to the UK a couple of years ago and seeing their operations in place. I've been to a lot of ITADs. I've seen how a lot of ITADs handle their pickups and their drop offs and how they handled their logistics chain, how they handle their employees that are going out to do these pickups. And one of the things that just incredibly impressed me about CDL was they had the slickest, most efficient looking, I mean, maybe it's not, but I was so impressed by how their operation looked.Learn more about how WipeDrive Enterprise can help you keep your data secure.Get more podcasts by WipeDrive

We hear quite a bit about it over here in the US, but obviously it's got a much bigger impact on them over there, and that's GDPR. What does this law actually mean? What is required? We're not going to go through anything broad on this. We want to focus on what we care about, which is data erasure. What do we do? What are we doing with our old laptops, desktops, servers? What are we legally required to do? How are we required to be processing this type of equipment? And Mark is an expert on this. And I'm actually excited to learn more about this, because even though it doesn't necessarily apply to us. But those of us that are in organizations that span both sides of the Atlantic, this is something that's going to be more and more important. And like a lot of laws that sometimes Europe will follow the US, the US will follow Europe. So we never know who's going to be influencing who. So it's good for all of us to have an understanding of what GDPR requires. What's going to be critical to you and your job.
