Introduction
The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has established various standards and guidelines to ensure the security and integrity of its data and systems. One such standard is DoD 5520.22M, which defines the requirements for secure data wiping. Great England Software's PXE Automated Network Data Wiping solution can help organizations comply with this standard by providing a secure and efficient method for wiping data from network-connected devices.
Understanding DoD 5520.22M
DoD 5520.22M, also known as the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM), is a set of guidelines and requirements for the protection of classified information. One of the key aspects of this manual is the secure wiping of data from storage devices. The standard specifies that a secure wipe must be performed to ensure that the data cannot be recovered using standard data recovery methods.
PXE Automated Network Data Wiping
Great England Software's PXE Automated Network Data Wiping solution is designed to help organizations automate the process of securely wiping data from network-connected devices. The solution uses the Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) to boot devices into a secure environment where the data wiping process can be performed. This allows for a more efficient and centralized approach to data wiping, reducing the time and effort required to manually wipe each device
