Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue, Your Old Devices Still Have Data Too

Valentine’s Day is about showing love, taking care of what matters, and not taking the things we rely on for granted. While most people think of flowers, cards, and chocolates, organizations have something else worth caring for this season: their retired technology.

The Importance of Data Destruction in a Digital World

The start of a new year is a natural time for organizations to reset. Budgets are reviewed, systems are upgraded, and long term strategies are put into motion. Yet one area that is often overlooked is what happens to data stored on technology that has reached the end of its life. Old laptops, servers, hard drives, and mobile devices may no longer be in use, but the data on them does not disappear on its own. Without proper destruction, that information can remain accessible and vulnerable.

The Gift of Sustainability with 4THBIN

The holiday season is in full swing. Offices are decorated, calendars are packed with year-end milestones, and new technology is making its way into homes and workplaces. December is a time for wrapping things up, literally and figuratively. Along with gifts, gatherings, and festive traditions, it is also when old electronics finally come out of hiding.

Don’t Let Holiday Shopping Deals Put Your Data or The Planet at Risk

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are coming, and millions of people and businesses will be upgrading devices at the same time. The deals are everywhere. Phones, laptops, monitors, tablets, and accessories are suddenly hundreds of dollars off, and retailers are offering bundles, limited-time discounts, and free shipping that can make it hard to resist. While it is tempting to click “buy” on the latest tech, it is important to be aware of the risks that come with this shopping surge. Upgrading tech often means old devices are discarded, and if they are not properly handled, they can create serious data security and environmental issues.
