ESG Research Brief: Is Data Destruction a Compelling Use Case for Self-Encrypting Drives?
6/18/2009

By deleting encryption keys, these vendors believe they can help enterprises automate data destruction processes. In theory, this is true—but ESG research demonstrates that, though key deletion for data destruction may have some niche market appeal, it is not a “killer app” for storage encryption across the broad enterprise market.
