Why Use EBAN?

Due to government legislation and concerns for client data protection, data breaches have become unacceptable; therefore, certifying the destruction of client data left on decommissioned computers is absolutely necessary. The challenge is to automate data destruction so it’s both cost effective and provides an audit trail for legal compliance. EBAN does all of this and more.

Product Summary

EBAN 2.0 For Mass Drive Wiping is one of the most effective ways to simultaneously overwrite data on multiple hard-drives. It’s Department of Defense 5220.22-M and NIST 800-88 compliant. EBAN also has advanced reporting capabilities that automatically record pass/fail of the overwrite and harvest a complete hardware manifest. EBAN is a proven product with units of code that have been used millions of times.

The Technology

EBAN runs on a server (a laptop or desktop computer) and sends the EBAN data destruction kernel to each target hard-drive (see Figure 1 on reverse). In this way, it can wipe as many hard-drives as are linked to the server. EBAN can wipe hard drives in the computer chassis (desktops and laptops) or it can overwrite loose hard drives.

Reporting

EBAN will automatically record the make, model and serial number of every operational hard drive and alerts the operator of bad or failing hard-drives. In addition, this information can be linked to the asset tag of the individual computer. EBAN also pulls a full hardware manifest that includes processor, RAM, motherboard, etc (see Figure 2 on reverse). Manifest reports are an excellent tool for asset managers who need to do full reconciliations and computer re-marketers who need to perform equipment valuations. The ability of EBAN to create automated, accurate reports is not only a time savings, but provides crucial documentation that mitigates future risk and liability. EBAN reports can be exported or printed in industry standard formats.

Cost & Licensing

EBAN pricing is volume based. As the volume increases, the price per drive decreases. One year Enterprise and Site licenses are available, as are 14-day free trials.
