Degaussing involves demagnetizing the hard disk using a specialized degausser. It effectively deletes data, but it also renders the hard disk unusable for future use, which does not align with the requirement to "reuse" the disk.
I agree with you. Degaussing a hard drive erases all confidential information, such as company emails, customer profiles, and financial data to prevent this sensitive data from getting in the wrong hands and becoming compromised.
D is correct answer. Data wiping, also known as data erasure, is the process of permanently deleting data from a hard disk or other storage device. This process involves overwriting the data on the hard disk with random data patterns to make the original data unreadable and irretrievable.
The BEST way to sanitize a hard disk for reuse to ensure that the organization's information cannot be accessed is by using data wiping.
Data wiping is the process of overwriting the entire hard disk multiple times with random data to ensure that all previous data on the disk is completely unrecoverable. This is considered the most secure method of sanitizing a hard disk, as it makes it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to recover any previous data.
Option A, re-partitioning, only creates new partitions on the disk, but does not erase any previous data. Option B, degaussing, only removes the magnetic field from the disk, but does not erase the data. Option C, formatting, only removes the file system information, but does not erase the data.
In short, data wiping is the most effective method to sanitize a hard disk for reuse and ensure that the organization's information cannot be accessed.
