BitRaser is a portable data erasure utility, developed to sanitize digital storage devices beyond the scope of recovery. This tool prevents sensitive data from being recovered after erasing and makes the storage devices free for recycling and disposal. It uses multiple data overwriting technologies to erase the traces of information available on digital storage sources and block all the possibilities of data reconstruction.[1]
Technology
BitRaser is a portable data destruction program that doesn't need installation and is capable of wiping IDE/ATA, SCSI, SAS, SATA hard drives, USB drives, and SSDs. This tool meets the needs of statutory compliance and also provides comprehensive auditable reports and certificates. It follows 17 international data wiping algorithms that allow corporations and government entities to permanently remove all the traces of information stored on their PCs, laptops, networked computers, servers, individual drives, etc.[2][3][4]

Risk and Demand
Data security should always be a priority for all digital storage media users, even after disposing of an old hard drive. Formatting and deletion are not enough to ensure data privacy, as there are many data recovery software and services available that claim to recover data even after reformatting. Therefore, it’s now become important to erase your data from a hard drive with a secure method before reuse or disposal.[5]
Applications
BitRaser can erase data from all IT assets and prevent data leakage of sensitive data before recycling or disposal of computer storage. It includes a wider area of usage like Healthcare, Telecom, Government, Automotive, Consultative, BFSI, Manufacturing, Recyclers & Refurbisher, ITAD, etc.
