Chris is responsible for workstations throughout his company and knows that some of the company's workstations are used to handle both proprietary information and highly sensitive trade secrets. Which option best describes what should happen at the end of their life (EOL) for workstations he is responsible for?

Answer Options

A

Erasing

B

Clearing

C

Sanitization

D

Destruction

Correct Answer: D

Explanation

Destruction is the most complete method of ensuring that data cannot be exposed, and organizations often opt to destroy either the drive or the entire workstation or device to ensure that data cannot be recovered or exposed. Sanitization is a combination of processes that ensure that data from a system cannot be recovered by any means. Erasing and clearing are both prone to mistakes and technical problems that can result in remnant data and don't make sense for systems that handle proprietary information.
