2008-10-22 - HSM ensures maximum security for electronic data at the Systems in Munich
For the first time, HSM, the Baden-based manufacturer of document shredders, cutting machines and baling presses, will be presenting its innovative data protection products at Hall B3, Stand 329 at the Systems trade fair in Munich, from the 21st to the 24th of October 2008. Trade visitors will not only be able to inspect and try out conventional shredders at the fair, but also a new product in the IT sector known as the digital shredder.
The Digital Shredder is a portable multi-purpose IT device for complete deletion of all data stored on a hard disc. Data stored on the disc is destroyed in such a manner that reconstruction is not possible, even using forensic methods. Operation could not be easier. Connect the hard disc to be deleted to the adapter plug and then insert it in the drive. Up to three hard discs can be deleted at once. ATA/IDE and SATA hard drives are supported (2.5" and 3.5"). After wiping, you have the option to reformat the disc for further use.
The device is very user-friendly and takes up little space as it requires almost no peripherals. There is touch screen menu navigation.
Security in 15,000 pieces – the high security document shredder
With new cutting roller technology, HSM has entered a new dimension of document shredders. Shredding documents to a degree exceeding DIN security level 5 proves once again the strength of HSM's technological innovation. “HS Level 6”, developed by HSM, sets new standards for security and is particularly suited for use in government offices, banks, insurance companies or security agencies.
The thousands of small razor-sharp teeth on steel cutting rollers that are lathed, hardened and ground can shred a single sheet of A4 paper into 15,000 bits. The resulting 1 x 5 mm particles are absolutely illegible!
The HSM 411.2 OMDD (optical media destruction device) reliably shreds CDs and DVDs to extremely high security standards. The specially hardened cutting rollers ensure reliable shredding of the material into tiny particles of 2.2 x 4 mm.
