Information Security beyond the Endpoint

High Security Information Assurance

1

In a world where information needs to be accessible from anywhere and at any time,

digital data carriers are of growing importance. The density of data stored on endpoint

devices such as Hard Disk Drives, USB-Sticks, SD-Cards, DVD or Blu-Ray has grown

exponentially over the past decade.

Information security at the endpoint plays a major role in today’s IT world – and endpoint

devices can be a source of major vulnerability for corporate IT. In recent years, governments

around the world have enacted legislation that requires protective measures for various types

of confidential personal information. Violations of these information security laws are no longer

treated as trivial offenses, but are punished with significant fines. In many cases, the most

costly punishment is the damage to a company’s reputation that results from a data security

breach.

Much of the information handled within organizations is considered to be corporate intellectual

property such as patents, business plans or financial statements. Even though this data is not

directly affected by customer confidentiality laws, a security breach can still have disastrous

consequences – what if competitive secrets fall into the hands of the competition? After all,

knowledge is power – and companies need to be able to control their privileged information.

A fast-changing market has evolved to address the needs of

protecting information at the endpoint. When dealing with

information assurance, IT leaders can choose from a large

variety of solutions like firewalls or access control systems as

they create their organization’s information security protocols.

But what happens when information has reached the end of its

useful life? How can information stored on endpoint devices be

deleted permanently and in accordance with existing information

assurance requirements? Many organizations do not fully answer

this question – and as a result, they are vulnerable in ways that

they may not fully comprehend.

In the field of endpoint data deletion, users of intimus products benefit

from an extensive pool of experience. Starting with data shredders

over 50 years ago, the intimus brand has grown to a complete range

of information assurance equipment. intimus – the Latin name for

a trustworthy confidant – says it all. Our longstanding relationships

with governments and global corporations enable our research and

development to stay one step ahead of legal requirements and

technical changes.

Identifying Perspectives Risk Matrix

Seamless information assurance – from the time

information is created to the day it is destroyed –

is mandatory from a legal standpoint and is

imperative for an organization to reach its goals.

Seamless information assurance is a

multifaceted and complex undertaking.

intimus consulting can help. We start by

making a comprehensive risk analysis.

It is essential to establish and understand

the status quo before offering any specific

recommendations for change.

The intimus risk matrix reveals the likelihood

of risk within an organization as well as the

consequences of a security breach.

Our intimus consulting team engages with our

clients to successfully manage these risks.

Dimension of Damage

How information flows through an enterprise:

Creation and collection

Day in, day out, a flood of information is processed

across the enterprise. Even though paper still is the

number one data carrier, electronic media such as

memory sticks or mobile communicators are rapidly

gaining share. Consequently, measures have to be

taken to prevent careless disposal of memos, faxes

or e-mail printouts, and to ensure secure handling

procedures for electronic media.

Usage, processing and storage

Once recorded, information is used, processed,

and stored in several ways. First and foremost, it

is necessary to clearly prescribe the access rights

of individual departments and personnel at the

endpoint.

Deletion or disposal

After use, information has to be disposed of in a

manner compliant with security requirements. Even when information

is no longer required or valued by an organization, it can still be of

great use to third parties. Therefore, management needs to control the

process and must clearly stipulate the protocol for handling data after

it is no longer useful.

Crypto Levels by intimus...In keeping with the high-speed development of the IT world,

digital data carriers are becoming increasingly important.

50 years ago, most sensitive information was recorded only

on paper – today, a large and growing variety of digital

media present a new challenge in secure data disposal.

Governments around the world have been working to define

standards and guidelines regarding the secure deletion of

information on data carriers – and each individual nation is free

to enact its own legislation. Among the most influential new

international standards are the British Standard BS 8470:2006,

NSA / CSS and DIN 32 757, and the brand new European Union

standard, EN 15 713. Many countries worldwide use these

well-known standards as the basis for their own rules and

regulations.

In this new world of competing, conflicting information

assurance standards, where should an IT executive look

for reliable equipment and advice? This is where Crypto

Levels by intimus reside: with our experience and expertise

developed over 50 years in the business, we have formed a

concept that brings all major standards under one roof.

...for Secret and Top Secret Requirements

British Standard BS 8470:2006

BS 8470:2006 gives recommendations for the management

and control of collection, transportation and destruction of

confidential material to ensure that such material is disposed

of securely and safely. The recommendations apply to a

company’s main business premises and any holding sites.

Particle surface: < 10 mm²

DIN 33 858

This German standard refers to the erasure of data stored

on magnetic media. It defines the minimum requirements

for erasing devices and gives guidelines for the field strength

that needs to be used according to the type of data carrier

being destroyed. This field strength ranges from 350 up

to 5,000 Oe on three levels.

NATO SDIP-293

Within the military alliance of NATO this standard gives rules

for destruction of obsolete media. These items are split up into

paper and non-paper material. Main methods for destruction

are shredding, burning, disintegrating, smelting or degaussing.

Particle surface paper shredding: 5 mm²

NSA/CSS Specification 02-01

To protect national security, military and government

agencies the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) released

a standard for paper shredders in 2003. NSA/CSS Specification

02-01 outlines the required shred size for document paper

cross cut shredders for government agencies disposing of

Top Secret or classified documents.



While NSA / CSS gives rules for U.S. military or government

agencies, this publication released in 2006 gives guidelines

for media sanitization in U.S. commercial organizations.

Unlike most of the other standards it covers a large scope

of media primarily split into two groups: Hard copy and

electronic. The guideline deals with the trends in data storage

media and how the information can be deleted efficiently

by means of shredding, disintegration, pulverization or even

incineration.

Particle surface shredding: 5 mm²


Released in 2009, this regulation now sets a European

standard for information assurance. Replacing the former

DIN 32 757 and BS 8470:2006, it defines requirements for

mechanical secure destruction of confidential material in

8 security levels. High security data destruction happens

at level 8 with a particle size of in average 10 mm² and

a maximum width of 0.8 mm.


DIN 32 757-1

For almost 30 years the internationally recognised DIN was

the guideline for data security. In total it defined 5 security

levels. The top level 5 specified a maximum particle size

of 10 square millimeters for indecipherable shredding of

obsolete data storage media. This equals over 6,000

individual particles for one sheet of A4 format paper.

DIN 32 757-1 does not adress optical media destruction.

Security is essential.

During 2007, 26 billion pieces of optical media (CDs, DVDs and Blu-Ray discs) were

sold worldwide – with an average annual sales increase of approximately 10%. They are

currently the most frequently used media for portable and cost-effective information storage.

Unfortunately, these features – portability, low cost –

that offer such advantages to the user can also lead

to abuse and data theft when these devices reach

their final end-of-life destination. A single disc falling

into the wrong hands could betray state secrets or

damage a company’s prospects for years to come.

The biggest information assurance challenge from

optical media is that the information layers on the disc need to be thoroughly removed.

It’s not good enough to throw away a disc or scratch the surface – only a machine like the

intimus 005S grinds all information layers beyond the point of forensic recovery – thus

ensuring the highest level of information security. The U.S. guidelines for media sanitization

specify grinding as the only sufficient optical media destruction method – and intimus

provides this added degree of safety.

11CRYPTO

The intimus 005S deploys the patented DATAgrindTM technology which grinds the data layer

on any optical media down to 250 microns – beyond the point of forensic recovery.

In less than one minute, all data on a CD/DVD or Blu-Ray disc is eliminated completely and

permanently. All that remains is a fine dust that is collected by the built-in evacuation system.

Intimus 005S is flexible to use and easy to operate. CDs and Blu-Rays can be processed in only

one step. DVDs need to be split before the data destruction and are processed in two steps.

After grinding, the remains of the discs are recyclable as Polycarbonate.

Digital storage needs maximum protection.

With high storage capacities and many different types of information stored together,

digital media are vulnerable to all kinds of abuse. Modern hard disk drives or magnetic

storage tapes such as LTO or QIC can contain

millions of written pages, together with other confidential

information like pictures, films, financial calculations or

banking data. All of this information is typically secured

during use. But after the information is no longer in use,

merely deleting all the files does not solve the problem.

Most deleted information can easily be restored. Spot tests

made on disposed computers and hard disk drives showed

that more than 80% of all tested hard disk drives had never

been deleted and still contained personal data – and worse,

roughly 50% of this data was hazardous.

Information Destruction on Hard Disk Drives – Degausser

Short duty cycles, user-friendly operation and continuous mode offer widespread solutions for different security needs.

12

intimus degaussers rely on APT (Advanced Pulse TechnologyTM). During

the erase an effective quick burst generates a strong and powerful pulse.

This results in 90% lower energy consumption compared to other models.

At the same time they produce an erasing field many times stronger than those

produced by the read/write heads in hard drives and tape drives. The field strength

of an intimus degausser destroys the magnetic structure and ensures that the data

are no longer recoverable by computer or laboratory attacks. Since the technology

does not rely on software, it will also completely and permanently erase failed and

damaged hard drives regardless of the operating system or interface.

Built-in safeguards check the stored power before each erase cycle, ensuring

complete erasure every time. A field strength meter, audible tones and lighted

push buttons report the status of the degausser to the user.

The cutting cylinders of intimus high security data

shredders are equipped with hundreds of precision-

ground special cutters. A shredder with an SF-cutting

system shreds a single sheet of paper into more than

17,000 individual pieces.

Each cutting cylinder is the outcome of a highly advanced

engineering and production process. Two plain pieces of

special quality steel are turned into a pair of highly precise

cutting cylinders interacting with each other like Swiss

clockwork. Once the precision level is guaranteed, the

process of production is finalized with a hardening process

that makes the cylinders resistant against the wear and

tear of many years in operation.

Top Secret Level Paper Shredding

The “chaotic cut”: Thousands of illegible

particles irregular in size

Keeps Top Secret correspondence from getting into the wrong hands

The first shredder that exceeded the latest NSA standard

when it was released in 2003 was the intimus 007 SL.

Driven by the US standard and with the future in mind, Martin Yale

focused on how to develop cutting technologies that even exceeded

the NSA requirements. With impressive results: while standard

technologies would shred one piece of DIN A4 paper into 6,000 to

17,000 pieces, the intimus 007 SL tears it into up to 30,000 pieces.

With its unique performance, its low noise operation level and what

is called its 3CT (3-Cylinder-Technology), the 007 SL is in a class of its own: three cutting cylinders

(instead of only two) cut the paper into tiny pieces only 1.5-5 mm in length.

Ever since this model was launched in 2003, it has become a trusted ally for clandestine

government services worldwide. No technology has been developed that can reconstruct a

document shredded by an intimus 007 SL.

intimus 007 SL






When the intimus 007 SL was first developed, the Martin Yale engineers were the

industry’s pioneers in looking for a shredder whose technology made it impossible to

recover a document once shredded.

It turned out that the key to success was to create shredded pieces that have a shape that brings

any software to its limit. Martin Yale’s insight was that the more irregularly-shaped the pieces are,

the less likely it is that they will be recoverable.

At this point 3CT (3-Cylinder-Technology) by intimus was born. During the shredding process

the document first runs through the first pair of cutting cylinders. After that it is led towards the

second cut. This results in particles with variable lengths between 1.5 up to 5 mm.

This is the only way to guarantee a lasting “unrecoverable” result, even after many

years of use.

High Security Paper Shredding – Large-scale Systems

The feeding section work table offers a comfortable width for undisturbed shredding work

Seamless data protection is (now) child’s play.

When high volumes peak, adequate shredding capacity

must be available to enable fast and efficient disposal

of medical records, personnel files or court records that

are no longer required. Shredders that are too weak

or too slow cost valuable time and make shredding a

tedious, disliked job - thus harboring the risk of sensitive

documents being disposed of intact out of convenience.

Sheet capacity and cutting speed are inadequate

yardsticks to measure the effectiveness of large-scale shredders. What needs to be

considered when dealing with large-scale systems is the necessary throughput

volume in kg/hour. This can easily be determined from the weight of the

documents to be shredded every day combined with the time frame

envisioned for shredding.

For improved working conditions. Dust is inevitably generated when shredding paper. The dust extractor removes dust at the critical points to prevent it from escaping into the ambient air (This is an optional feature).

Top Secret Shredding in High Volume

The VZ 14.00/5 Shredder/Baler Combination is an intimus®POWER heavy duty shredder

that fulfills top security standards.

Comprising a pre-shredder of 6 x 50 mm cutting width followed by a cross-cut shredder of 2 x 4.5 mm

cutting width, an hourly output of up to approx. 150 kg is achieved (depending on feed rate and material

to be shredded).

Once pre-shredded, the material drops straight onto a conveyor belt and is transported along the shortest

route to the follow-up security shredding system. Only this combination of pre- and after-shredder makes

such a high throughput at a top security level possible.

The 2 x 4.5 mm cutting system guarantees compliance with EN 15 713 security level 7 – thanks to the

subsequent compaction of the fine shreds in the integrated bale press, it is even possible to meet the

requirements of security level 8.

Large-scale Data Destruction Systems – Disintegration

High volume technology, proven for decades, is the basis

of the intimus®POWER Disintegrators.

For secure destruction of bank notes, paper and other types of media,

you need carefully adapted machines with specially designed rotors

and cutting geometries. This ensures efficient feeding and maximum

throughput with these delicate materials – saving time and effort.

Via a screen, the particles leave the cutting chamber towards a hopper

and are evacuated from there. By simply installing a screen with a

different mesh size, the shred size of the machine can be easily

adapted to the respective demand.

All intimus®POWER Disintegrators can be equipped with an optional sound enclosure.

The clean-cut box from painted sheet steel is equipped on the inside with special padding

and provides for reduction of the sound level during operation to approx. 80 db(A).

Wide front doors enable convenient access for service and maintenance work.

Large bundles of hard copy storage, cell phones or Floppy disks enter the disintegrator via the feed tunnel...

The rotors of intimus®POWER Disintegrators are CNC-milled from solid stock.

They are optimized for processing of massive piles of material like bank note bundles and

wrappers or thick stacks of printed sheets by use of specially designed bolted knives.

All of our disintegrators use the unique “Diagonal Cut” technology, which offers advantages

over other knife layouts. Benefits include: automatic feeding by the knives themselves,

smooth operation, minimum dust content of the mill charge and very low power consumption.

The rotor knives do not need to be adjusted and are simply fixed adjacent to the bed stop.

By positioning the two solid knives, the accurate gap between rotating and solid knives

is adjusted. All knives are made from tooling steel, hardened, long-lived and can be easily

re-sharpened multiple times with no need for special appliances.

Destruction of Optical and Magnetic Media – Dual Shaft Disintegrator

The past decade has been a time of dramatic change in the quality and capacity

of data storage media.

The new world of cheap, high-capacity and ever-present data storage devices has completely

transformed the world of information assurance and poses new challenges to organizations

seeking to handle their data in a safe and secure manner. Incredibly enough, the quantity of

data storage media is still increasing. As “old” methods of data storage become obsolete

(within an ever-shorter time frame), organizations find themselves faced with obsolete hard

drives, outdated computers, printers and other equipment that has outlived its usefulness,

but that still poses a risk.

Data storage devices have the potential to become “information bombs” once they become

obsolete. The easiest way to manage secure, fast, economic destruction with an easy visual

proof for the successful completion of the destruction process is shredding the HDDs or other

media to pieces. For ultra-sensitive data in industry and government, the highest security

requirements apply. The main goal of security requirements in this area is to avoid any

recovery of the data.

The unique intimus Dual Shaft Disintegrator allows for granulating of up to

approximately 22 to 50 HDD of 3.5” size per hour to tiny granules with 10, 8

or even only 6 mm chip size (according to the installed screen). This machine

is unmatched so far and is in high demand from secret services and

government agencies that require the highest level of security.

Using the unique Hybrid Technology, the intimus dual shaft disintegrator makes

perfect use of both shredding and disintegration.

Designed for industrial applications, the shredding section is equipped with 30 mm wide knives

from special tool steel and a robust electric geared drive. Knives are hardened to special specification

and use a special geometry to provide for perfect processing of HDD and other media. Via the feeding

slot located in the top cover, media can be continuously fed to the cutting block.

Once shredded, the remaining particles run through the installed disintegration screen enabling the

system to offer a practical throughput of 22 to 50 HDD per hour at low wear and energy consumption.

As with the regular Single Shaft Disintegrators, users have the option of installing a screen with a

different mesh size to adapt the final granule size to the required demand. As a standard, mesh sizes

of 6, 8 or 10 mm are available.
