14 DAY TRIAL // A new Version of Blancco Mobile Edition has been released today, enabling fast and secure erasing of personal and corporate data from iPhones and iPads, eliminating some of the increasing threat of data leaks, Blancco announced today.
An expert in data erasure and end-of-lifecycle solutions, Blancco is proud to announce that corporations using iPhones and iPads, as well as recyclers of iPhones and iPads worldwide, can now use a more advanced data erasure solution to safely erase sensitive personal and business data.
Blancco Mobile Edition handles all kinds of data, including emails, photos and contacts before the equipment is replaced, re-sold, or disposed of.
Commenting on their new product, Ari Korpelainen, VP of Products for Blancco, said, "Many corporations don't realize that when they upgrade or recycle their staff smartphones, both private and business data - like contact details, family photos, company emails and personal web use history - is still accessible in the smartphone's memory."
The tool is particularly aimed at the growing IT asset recycling industry which, according to Blancco, will now be able to use a more cost effective and regulatory-compliant method to erase large numbers of iPhones and iPads.
Using Blancco Mobile Edition, these companies will also be able to produce individual audit reports showing vital evidence of the erasure process, Blancco said.
"Resetting a smartphone back to factory defaults does not permanently destroy data as data can still be recovered. This poses a serious data breach risk and therefore is not an effective erasure method. Using Blancco Mobile Edition ensures that the user data on your smartphone is permanently erased,” added Korpelainen.
"The reports provided by Blancco Mobile Edition after each erasure provide peace of mind that the smartphones can be reused or sold without fear of data leaks. These reports are critical as they provide proof of erasure for audit purposes," Korpelainen concluded.
