Clear configuration settings on networking
equipment
Managed switches, authenticating serial console servers, and other “smart”
network infrastructure devices can provide clues to a clever security
cracker on how best to break into your network and the systems that reside
on it.
Control access to the equipment
Establish clear guidelines for who should have access to any equipment in
need of secure disposal. Track a “chain of custody” to help ensure that
nobody who shouldn’t have access to it before disposal gets his or her
hands on it.
Computers often hold all kinds of personal and financial information. If
you’re getting rid of your old computer, there are things to do before you
log off for the last time so your hard drive doesn’t become a 21st century
treasure chest for identity thieves and information pirates.
* Save important files on an external storage device – for example, a USB
drive, a CDRom, or an external hard drive – or transfer them to a new
computer.
* If your old computer contains sensitive information that would be
valuable to an identity thief, consider using a program that overwrites or
wipes the hard drive many times. Or, remove the hard drive, and physically
destroy it.
* If you use your computer for business purposes, check with your employer
about how to manage business-related information on your computer. The law
requires businesses to follow data security and disposal requirements for
certain information that’s related to customers.
Once you have a “clean” computer, consider recycling, donating, or
reselling it – and keep the environment in mind when disposing of your
computer.
Keep the environment in mind when disposing of your computer. Most
computer equipment contains hazardous materials that don’t belong in a
landfill. For example, many computers have heavy metals that can
contaminate the earth. The EPA recommends that you check with your local
health and sanitation agencies for ways to dispose of electronics safely.
Ensure that you eliminate any accounts or other access control facilities
that are associated with the decommissioned equipment. You don’t want an
ex-employee still getting into his old workstation after he’s not supposed
to have access to it any longer, and you don’t want lingering network
access accounts used to remotely connect to the computer providing more
“target surface” for security crackers when you don’t need the account at
all any longer. You should generally do this first.
Delete files securely
Don’t assume that taking hard drives to the landfill is secure. If there’s
sensitive data on your drives, you need to get rid of it before taking it
away. Even if you don’t think there is any sensitive data on the drive,
consider whether you’re willing to bet the business on that — and if not,
do more than just chuck the drive in the bin. Even reformatting or
repartitioning a drive to “erase” the data it stores isn’t good enough
these days (if it ever was).
Clearly identify decommissioned systems
Make sure you have clear, physical indicators of whether a system has been
fully decommissioned in a secure manner, and that they don’t consist of
something easily misplaced or overlooked like a sticky note. It’s best if
computers that haven’t been fully decommissioned are kept in a specific
location, while decommissioned equipment goes somewhere else, so that
habits you develop will help you avoid making mistakes. For instance,
perhaps workstations should be kept on desks and servers in racks until
they’re cleared (and they should probably stay there until they’ve had
their drive contents shredded, at least, because they’re already set up
with power and whatever interface is normal for that system). Doing so can
lend a sense of urgency to the need to securely decommission the
equipment, too, because you’ll feel the pressure of wanting to clear the
space for other uses.
