Stormshield Data Shredder
What does Stormshield Data Shredder do?
- When you move files to the Windows recycle bin, and when you empty it, files are not really deleted from the hard disk. Stormshield Data Shredder makes it possible to permanently delete files and folders. This is an irreversible operation, the equivalent of a paper shredder.
- No IT maintenance tools will be able to retrieve deleted data.
How does Stormshield Data Shredder work?
Stormshield Data Shredder rewrites several times over the sectors of the hard disk on which deleted files are stored.
