Have you ever stopped to think about how much personal information you leave behind every time you go online? Every website you visit, every search you make, every file you download—it all adds to your digital footprint. Even after deleting files or clearing your browser history, traces of your online activity still linger. And in today's digital world, that's a serious problem.

In India, the rise of cybercrimes has been alarming, with over 77,000 reported cybercrime cases in 2024, a stark increase from just 9,622 in 2014. This surge reflects the heightened risk of data theft, breaches, and unauthorized access to sensitive information.

Cybersecurity has become a significant concern for organizations in an increasingly digital world. The shift to remote work sparked by the COVID-19 pandemic has left many businesses vulnerable to cyber threats, as sensitive information is often scattered across devices at home and in the workplace. To protect this information, organizations must protect data in active use and at rest. Data breaches, mainly due to improper removal of IT assets and non-usage of antivirus software, have emerged as a significant issue, resulting in numerous data theft cases. Reports of customer information being compromised during equipment removal have become very common, emphasizing the need for robust data die practices. As per recent statistics, there have been significant breaches in India regarding removing unsuitable IT assets. Many organizations face potential financial loss and reputational damage due to the emergence of sensitive issues from old devices
