WhiteCanyon’s Products Prevent Data Theft

WhiteCanyon is a leading provider of security and sanitation software for both corporations and consumers

Data security is a growing issue for many organizations. IT managers take steps to ensure that critical business data can only be accessed by authorized users by installing firewalls, verifications, and other checks. Even with these safeguards, however, many organizations have information that is vulnerable to theft.

WhiteCanyon, Inc. makes products that make data security easier to manage. Its flagship software applications, WipeDrive and SecureClean, are designed to ensure that old data cannot be recovered by providing true deletion techniques.

WipeDrive, in particular, has been used by thousands of companies and individuals to completely erase all hard drive information. By performing a simple format, a hard drive may not be completely cleaned of all information. There may be traces of potentially dangerous information, including phone numbers, passwords, financial information, and more.

Performing a true delete of data on the drive is essential whenever a person or organization gets rid of an old machine by donating, selling, or throwing it away. WipeDrive can also be used to erase a hard drive if a used computer was purchased and the system is running slowly.

Along with WipeDrive, WhiteCanyon also offers SecureClean, which offers a true erase of specific files. When a file is “deleted” on a computer system, the only thing that really occurs is that the file’s location reference is removed. The file’s raw data is still on the drive and can be recovered by nearly anyone. SecureClean takes care of this problem by providing a quick and easy way to permanently delete all traces of a file.

In addition to providing secure deletion services, WhiteCanyon also offers an application that is designed to locate and retrieve deleted files. This program, RecoverMyFiles, can perform comprehensive searches for deleted files, even after a hard drive has been formatted.

WhiteCanyon’s innovative solutions for data deletion and recovery are trusted by some of the world’s largest brands, including Dell, Bank of America, and the U.S. Air Force. These companies deal with critical data on a daily basis, and they have confidence in WhiteCanyon to make sure that this data is secure.
