Supply chain constraints are driving enterprises to reuse and resell servers, GPUs, and other equipment more than ever. Whether that means sending previous generations of GPUs to other data centers with different usage requirements, or reselling servers instead of recycling them, the potential for data leakage, AI dataset poisoning, and even counterfeit gear making its way into the supply chain is going up.

“The compromise of routing devices is a recent trend in the tactics of espionage-motivated adversaries as it grants the capability for a long-term, high-level access to the crucial routing infrastructure, with a potential for more disruptive actions in the future. A concerted effort is required to safeguard these critical systems and ensure the continued stability and security of the internet.”

DECOMMISSIONING_

Making sure all proprietary data is wiped from IT gear before selling or trashing it is critical for enterprises.

Many organizations have their IT assets destroyed due to lack of confidence that they can be effectively cleansed and resold.

Risk Mitigation and Benefits From Secure Decommissioning

Prevent Sensitive Data Leak

When servers are decommissioned, sensitive data must be wiped from every memory region. Servers are often resold or harvested for parts, and any data loss could result in regulatory violations or loss of reputation or revenue.

Eliminate Risky Misconfigurations

Decommissioned devices may still be registered to existing inventory or access services. When those devices leave your enterprise, they can create a backdoor back into your sensitive systems, if not wiped and reconfigured properly.

Going Green

Reselling or re-using devices instead of shredding them is more economical, and ecologically friendly. But many organizations see resale of devices as a source of cyber risk. By confidently sanitizing devices, organizations can gain ecological certifications and recoup costs during hardware refreshes.
