Platform and Infrastructure

For example, you can use this high level of data destruction when you pull a device from production. To maintain data security, you want to sanitize any disk drives in the device before it leaves your premises. The NIST Special Publication 800-88 specifies the priority levels for sanitizing disk drives. In Junos OS Evolved, you sanitize a disk drive using the request system zeroize (disk1 | disk2) command. The sanitization process starts at the highest NIST sanitization priority that the disk drive supports. If that attempt fails, the process uses the method associated with the next lowest NIST priority level, and so on, until the disk is sanitized either using one of the NIST methods or using the Linux dd command.
