Secure Delete PCI-DSS Windows Environment
- by Brennan Mann
Hello,
I have been reviewing a number of applications for securing deleting files. I understand the concepts of overwriting the file several times with zeros and random characters; however, I don't understand the concept of renaming the file up to thirty times before actually deleting the file. Any feedback would greatly be appreciated.
I am currently working on a PCI DSS project.
