March 2010 – Proton’s T-4, the newest and currently most powerful degausser on the NSA Evaluated Products List, received another IT endorsement when it was awarded a “Best of FOSE 2010” award at the FOSE conference in Washington, DC on March 24th. The Proton T-4 employs EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) technology for quick and automatic sanitization of magnetic media such as hard drives and tapes. The T-4’s degaussing power is capable of erasing information on multi-terabyte hard disk drives. This capability results in an important value proposition and cost savings for users over the next several years as disk density increases.
