Information Security beyond the Endpoint

Information Security beyond the Endpoint
High Security Information Assurance

A Pioneer in Information Assurance
In a world where information needs to be accessible from anywhere and at any time,
digital data carriers are of growing importance. The density of data stored on endpoint
devices such as Hard Disk Drives, USB-Sticks, SD-Cards, DVD or Blu-Ray has grown
exponentially over the past decade.
Information security at the endpoint plays a major role in today’s IT world – and endpoint
devices can be a source of major vulnerability for corporate IT. In recent years, governments
around the world have enacted legislation that requires protective measures for various types
of confidential personal information. Violations of these information security laws are no longer
treated as trivial offenses, but are punished with significant fines. In many cases, the most
costly punishment is the damage to a company’s reputation that results from a data security
breach.
Much of the information handled within organizations is considered to be corporate intellectual
property such as patents, business plans or financial statements. Even though this data is not
directly affected by customer confidentiality laws, a security breach can still have disastrous
consequences – what if competitive secrets fall into the hands of the competition After all,
knowledge is power – and companies need to be able to control their privileged information.

But what happens when information has reached the end of its
useful life How can information stored on endpoint devices be
deleted permanently and in accordance with existing information
assurance requirements Many organizations do not fully answer
this question – and as a result, they are vulnerable in ways that
they may not fully comprehend.
In the field of endpoint data deletion, users of intimus products benefit
from an extensive pool of experience. Starting with data shredders
over 50 years ago, the intimus brand has grown to a complete range
of information assurance equipment. intimus – the Latin name for
a trustworthy confidant – says it all. Our longstanding relationships
with governments and global corporations enable our research and
development to stay one step ahead of legal requirements and
technical changes.

by intimus...
In keeping with the high-speed development of the IT world,
digital data carriers are becoming increasingly important.
50 years ago, most sensitive information was recorded only
on paper – today, a large and growing variety of digital
media present a new challenge in secure data disposal.
Governments around the world have been working to define
standards and guidelines regarding the secure deletion of
information on data carriers – and each individual nation is free
to enact its own legislation. Among the most influential new
international standards are the British Standard BS 8470:2006,
NSA / CSS and DIN 32 757, and the brand new European Union
standard, EN 15 713. Many countries worldwide use these
well-known standards as the basis for their own rules and
regulations.
In this new world of competing, conflicting information
assurance standards, where should an IT executive look
for reliable equipment and advice This is where Crypto
Levels by intimus reside: with our experience and expertise
developed over 50 years in the business, we have formed a
concept that brings all major standards under one roof.

...for Secret and Top Secret Requirements
European Standard EN 15 713
Released in 2009, this regulation now sets a European
standard for information assurance. Replacing the former
DIN 32 757 and BS 8470:2006, it defines requirements for
mechanical secure destruction of confidential material in
8 security levels. High security data destruction happens
at level 8 with a particle size of in average 10 mm² and
a maximum width of 0.8 mm.
Particle surface: < 10 mm²
DIN 32 757-1
For almost 30 years the internationally recognised DIN was
the guideline for data security. In total it defined 5 security
levels. The top level 5 specified a maximum particle size
of 10 square millimeters for indecipherable shredding of
obsolete data storage media. This equals over 6,000
individual particles for one sheet of A4 format paper.
DIN 32 757-1 does not adress optical media destruction.
British Standard BS 8470:2006
BS 8470:2006 gives recommendations for the management
and control of collection, transportation and destruction of
confidential material to ensure that such material is disposed
of securely and safely. The recommendations apply to a
company’s main business premises and any holding sites.
Particle surface: < 10 mm²
DIN 33 858
This German standard refers to the erasure of data stored
on magnetic media. It defines the minimum requirements
for erasing devices and gives guidelines for the field strength
that needs to be used according to the type of data carrier
being destroyed. This field strength ranges from 350 up
to 5,000 Oe on three levels.
NATO SDIP-293
Within the military alliance of NATO this standard gives rules
for destruction of obsolete media. These items are split up into
paper and non-paper material. Main methods for destruction
are shredding, burning, disintegrating, smelting or degaussing.
Particle surface paper shredding: 5 mm²
NSA/CSS Specification 02-01
To protect national security, military and government
agencies the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) released
a standard for paper shredders in 2003. NSA/CSS Specification
02-01 outlines the required shred size for document paper
cross cut shredders for government agencies disposing of
Top Secret or classified documents.
Particle surface: < 5 mm²
NIST Special Publication 800-88
While NSA / CSS gives rules for U.S. military or government
agencies, this publication released in 2006 gives guidelines
for media sanitization in U.S. commercial organizations.
Unlike most of the other standards it covers a large scope
of media primarily split into two groups: Hard copy and
electronic. The guideline deals with the trends in data storage
media and how the information can be deleted efficiently
by means of shredding, disintegration, pulverization or even
incineration.

Optical Media Destruction – Data Grinder
Security is essential.
During 2007, 26 billion pieces of optical media (CDs, DVDs and Blu-Ray discs) were
sold worldwide – with an average annual sales increase of approximately 10%. They are
currently the most frequently used media for portable and cost-effective information storage.
Unfortunately, these features – portability, low cost –
that offer such advantages to the user can also lead
to abuse and data theft when these devices reach
their final end-of-life destination. A single disc falling
into the wrong hands could betray state secrets or
damage a company’s prospects for years to come.
The biggest information assurance challenge from
optical media is that the information layers on the disc need to be thoroughly removed.
It’s not good enough to throw away a disc or scratch the surface – only a machine like the
intimus 005S grinds all information layers beyond the point of forensic recovery – thus
ensuring the highest level of information security. The U.S. guidelines for media sanitization
specify grinding as the only sufficient optical media destruction method – and intimus
provides this added degree of safety.

The intimus 005S deploys the patented DATAgrind TM technology which grinds the data layer
on any optical media down to 250 microns – beyond the point of forensic recovery.
In less than one minute, all data on a CD/DVD or Blu-Ray disc is eliminated completely and
permanently. All that remains is a fine dust that is collected by the built-in evacuation system.
Intimus 005S is flexible to use and easy to operate. CDs and Blu-Rays can be processed in only
one step. DVDs need to be split before the data destruction and are processed in two steps.
After grinding, the remains of the discs are recyclable as Polycarbonate.

Information Destruction on Hard Disk Drives – Degausser
Digital storage needs maximum protection.
With high storage capacities and many different types of information stored together,
digital media are vulnerable to all kinds of abuse. Modern hard disk drives or magnetic
storage tapes such as LTO or QIC can contain
millions of written pages, together with other confidential
information like pictures, films, financial calculations or
banking data. All of this information is typically secured
during use. But after the information is no longer in use,
merely deleting all the files does not solve the problem.
Most deleted information can easily be restored. Spot tests
made on disposed computers and hard disk drives showed
that more than 80% of all tested hard disk drives had never
been deleted and still contained personal data – and worse,
roughly 50% of this data was hazardous.

Complete and Permanent Erasure of Information
CRYPTO

intimus degaussers rely on APT (Advanced Pulse Technology TM ). During
the erase an effective quick burst generates a strong and powerful pulse.
This results in 90% lower energy consumption compared to other models.
At the same time they produce an erasing field many times stronger than those
produced by the read/write heads in hard drives and tape drives. The field strength
of an intimus degausser destroys the magnetic structure and ensures that the data
are no longer recoverable by computer or laboratory attacks. Since the technology
does not rely on software, it will also completely and permanently erase failed and
damaged hard drives regardless of the operating system or interface.
Built-in safeguards check the stored power before each erase cycle, ensuring
complete erasure every time. A field strength meter, audible tones and lighted
push buttons report the status of the degausser to the user.

Information Erasure on Hard Disk Drives – Secure Erase
Developed by hard disk drive (HDD) manufacturers,
firmware-based Secure Erase is a standard technology
embedded in most ATA/SATA hard drives.
When activating this command with intimus Hammer SE,
the HDD is completely purged back to the original status, with
all data eliminated. While the command is implemented, the
HDD is assigned a random password that locks the drive down.
It will not unlock until the Secure Erase procedure is complete.
The intimus Hammer SE is faster, more secure, and far more
energy-efficient than any software overwriting solution.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has established new standards
for electronic media sanitization that ranks Secure Erase, like degaussing, at the highest
security level that does not involve actual physical destruction.
intimus Hammer SE
• Destroys all data on up to four PATA/SATA hard drives simultaneously
without destroying the drive
• Hard drives may be re-used - promoting better environmental stewardship
• Verifies that the data has been removed
• Generates a stored or printed audit trail
• Wipes and clones drives in a single operation
• Useable as a stand-alone device or in connection with any standard PC (via USB)
• Portable, stand-alone device delivers additional functionality when used with

a data shredder which fulfills the increasingly complex
security requirements of governments and military agencies,
as well as R&D departments in all industrial sectors.
Still today, intimus 007 shredders can be considered
the standard for high security shredding around the world.
In an ever-changing, ever-more-competitive marketplace,
high security shredders need to do more than just reduce
printed documents into illegible pieces. They must also
demonstrate economical performance characteristics, and must be easy to use.
The most important performance characteristics include cutting capacity and
working width.
For this reason, intimus high security shredders are available in sizes to fit
departmental requirements, meaning they offer performance in sheet capacity
and are fit for centralized use.

Top Secret Level Paper Shredding
The first shredder that exceeded the latest NSA standard
when it was released in 2003 was the intimus 007 SL.
Driven by the US standard and with the future in mind, Martin Yale
focused on how to develop cutting technologies that even exceeded
the NSA requirements. With impressive results: while standard
technologies would shred one piece of DIN A4 paper into 6,000 to
17,000 pieces, the intimus 007 SL tears it into up to 30,000 pieces.
With its unique performance, its low noise operation level and what
is called its 3CT (3-Cylinder-Technology), the 007 SL is in a class of its own: three cutting cylinders
(instead of only two) cut the paper into tiny pieces only 1.5-5 mm in length.
Ever since this model was launched in 2003, it has become a trusted ally for clandestine
government services worldwide. No technology has been developed that can reconstruct a
document shredded by an intimus 007 SL.

Exceeds DIN Level 5 and NSA Standard
When the intimus 007 SL was first developed, the Martin Yale engineers were the
industry’s pioneers in looking for a shredder whose technology made it impossible to
recover a document once shredded.
It turned out that the key to success was to create shredded pieces that have a shape that brings
any software to its limit. Martin Yale’s insight was that the more irregularly-shaped the pieces are,
the less likely it is that they will be recoverable.
At this point 3CT (3-Cylinder-Technology) by intimus was born. During the shredding process
the document first runs through the first pair of cutting cylinders. After that it is led towards the
second cut. This results in particles with variable lengths between 1.5 up to 5 mm.
This is the only way to guarantee a lasting “unrecoverable” result, even after many
years of use.

High Security Paper Shredding – Large-scale Systems
Seamless data protection is (now) child’s play.
When high volumes peak, adequate shredding capacity
must be available to enable fast and efficient disposal
of medical records, personnel files or court records that
are no longer required. Shredders that are too weak
or too slow cost valuable time and make shredding a
tedious, disliked job - thus harboring the risk of sensitive
documents being disposed of intact out of convenience.
Sheet capacity and cutting speed are inadequate
yardsticks to measure the effectiveness of large-scale shredders. What needs to be
considered when dealing with large-scale systems is the necessary throughput
volume in kg/hour. This can easily be determined from the weight of the
documents to be shredded every day combined with the time frame
envisioned for shredding.
intimus VZ 14.00/5
• Two steps in one run: conveyor belt connects the

The VZ 14.00/5 Shredder/Baler Combination is an intimus ® POWER heavy duty shredder
that fulfills top security standards.
Comprising a pre-shredder of 6 x 50 mm cutting width followed by a cross-cut shredder of 2 x 4.5 mm
cutting width, an hourly output of up to approx. 150 kg is achieved (depending on feed rate and material
to be shredded).
Once pre-shredded, the material drops straight onto a conveyor belt and is transported along the shortest
route to the follow-up security shredding system. Only this combination of pre- and after-shredder makes
such a high throughput at a top security level possible.
The 2 x 4.5 mm cutting system guarantees compliance with EN 15 713 security level 7 – thanks to the
subsequent compaction of the fine shreds in the integrated bale press, it is even possible to meet the
requirements of security level 8.

Large-scale Data Destruction Systems – Disintegration
High volume technology, proven for decades, is the basis
of the intimus ® POWER Disintegrators.
For secure destruction of bank notes, paper and other types of media,
you need carefully adapted machines with specially designed rotors
and cutting geometries. This ensures efficient feeding and maximum
throughput with these delicate materials – saving time and effort.
Via a screen, the particles leave the cutting chamber towards a hopper
and are evacuated from there. By simply installing a screen with a
different mesh size, the shred size of the machine can be easily
adapted to the respective demand.
All intimus ® POWER Disintegrators can be equipped with an optional sound enclosure.
The clean-cut box from painted sheet steel is equipped on the inside with special padding
and provides for reduction of the sound level during operation to approx. 80 db(A).
Wide front doors enable convenient access for service and maintenance work.
intimus Disintegrators
• Large and solid bearings, externally mounted
• Wide opening milling chamber for perfect access to all
knives and fast and convenient adjustment or exchange of knives
• Easy access to the milling chamber, can be opened without tools,
easy to clean, secured with safety interlock

The rotors of intimus ® POWER Disintegrators are CNC-milled from solid stock.
They are optimized for processing of massive piles of material like bank note bundles and
wrappers or thick stacks of printed sheets by use of specially designed bolted knives.
All of our disintegrators use the unique “Diagonal Cut” technology, which offers advantages
over other knife layouts. Benefits include: automatic feeding by the knives themselves,
smooth operation, minimum dust content of the mill charge and very low power consumption.
The rotor knives do not need to be adjusted and are simply fixed adjacent to the bed stop.
By positioning the two solid knives, the accurate gap between rotating and solid knives
is adjusted. All knives are made from tooling steel, hardened, long-lived and can be easily
re-sharpened multiple times with no need for special appliances.

Destruction of Optical and Magnetic Media – Dual Shaft Disintegrator
The past decade has been a time of dramatic change in the quality and capacity
of data storage media.
The new world of cheap, high-capacity and ever-present data storage devices has completely
transformed the world of information assurance and poses new challenges to organizations
seeking to handle their data in a safe and secure manner. Incredibly enough, the quantity of
data storage media is still increasing. As “old” methods of data storage become obsolete
(within an ever-shorter time frame), organizations find themselves faced with obsolete hard
drives, outdated computers, printers and other equipment that has outlived its usefulness,
but that still poses a risk.
Data storage devices have the potential to become “information bombs” once they become
obsolete. The easiest way to manage secure, fast, economic destruction with an easy visual
proof for the successful completion of the destruction process is shredding the HDDs or other
media to pieces. For ultra-sensitive data in industry and government, the highest security
requirements apply. The main goal of security requirements in this area is to avoid any
recovery of the data.
The unique intimus Dual Shaft Disintegrator allows for granulating of up to
approximately 22 to 50 HDD of 3.5” size per hour to tiny granules with 10, 8
or even only 6 mm chip size (according to the installed screen). This machine
is unmatched so far and is in high demand from secret services and
government agencies that require the highest level of security.

Using the unique Hybrid Technology, the intimus dual shaft disintegrator makes
perfect use of both shredding and disintegration.
Designed for industrial applications, the shredding section is equipped with 30 mm wide knives
from special tool steel and a robust electric geared drive. Knives are hardened to special specification
and use a special geometry to provide for perfect processing of HDD and other media. Via the feeding
slot located in the top cover, media can be continuously fed to the cutting block.
Once shredded, the remaining particles run through the installed disintegration screen enabling the
system to offer a practical throughput of 22 to 50 HDD per hour at low wear and energy consumption.
As with the regular Single Shaft Disintegrators, users have the option of installing a screen with a
different mesh size to adapt the final granule size to the required demand. As a standard, mesh sizes
of 6, 8 or 10 mm are available.
