Why is it important to securely erase virtual machine data?

Securely erasing data on virtual machines is essential to protect privacy, comply with regulations such as GDPR or HIPAA, and prevent data leaks. Secure deletion prevents unauthorized access and the risk of data breaches, maintaining customer trust and company reputation. In addition, it enables efficient reuse of resources in cloud and virtualization environments. Complying with security and privacy standards is crucial for companies in the management of virtual data, ensuring the integrity of the information and mitigating possible risks associated with the handling of sensitive data.

Automation, installation and user management

  • Automatic

  • Option 2: Full integration into VMware's vCloud Director to replace the erasure command with Blancco's secure wipe of all virtual machines at the ESXi host server level.
  • Semi-automatic: Integrates directly with the vCenter Server user interface so users can securely wipe virtual machines with a simple click.
  • Manual:
  • Option 1: On-demand erasure of virtual machines hosted on ESXi host servers. It is done by uncompressing a tarball and issuing delete commands over SSH.
  • Option 2: Type 2 hypervisors installed on Windows operating systems receive a standard .EXE installation package. Delete commands are issued through the command prompt.
