ADISA Launches the World's First Research Centre for Data Sanitisation and IT Forensics
ADISA are excited to announce the completion of the ADISA Research Centre (ARC) - the world's first technical research centre for data sanitisation and IT forensics and will be under the control of Dr Andrew Blyth; a world leader in computer forensics and network defence.
LONDON, May 2, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Based in Cardiff, the ARC provides industry certification body, ADISA, with technical support to ensure that ADISA certified members are at the forefront of data sanitisation techniques. This will further reassure their customers that they are processing their data in the most effective and secure manner.
Dr Andrew Blyth comments: "I have been involved in testing products for data overwriting for many years both for ADISA and UK Government and having worked with most of the world's leading vendors, I'm aware of the many challenges they face. These include variations in the manufacturing of different media, the proliferation of storage locations within technology (IOT being a prime example) and a general misconception of the applicability of standards to solve all problems. The ARC is a fantastic opportunity to address this specialist area and to add value to the growing international market".
The ARC will enhance ADISA's global reputation and will build upon the work already carried out with companies in Hong Kong, the US, India and throughout Europe. This will reinforce the ADISA as the go-to brand when seeking assurance regarding your ITAD partner or in choosing a tool set for sanitising your media.
ADISA CEO, Steve Mellings, adds "I've worked with Andrew for nearly a decade now and the ARC reflects a genuine market requirement for specialism and thought leadership in this field. Our first tasks over these coming months is the launch of additional schemes for Data Sanitisation including the world's first "Certified Software Vendor" for data sanitisation software. The ARC will also release much needed research into issues, such as number of overwriting passes required and implications of shred size when destroying media."
The ARC is already working with the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) as part of the Predictive Cyber Analytics programme and the first vendors for the ADISA Product Assurance scheme are preparing their applications with three products already in the lab for evaluation.
Join ADISA at the ARC launch webinar on Tuesday 7th May.
