When assets reach the end of their lifecycle, they don’t just disappear—they become potential liabilities if not securely decommissioned. In this episode, we explore the processes and tools used for secure asset disposal, including data sanitization, cryptographic wiping, degaussing, and physical destruction. We also discuss how improperly retired systems—like old servers, network devices, or hard drives—can leak sensitive data or provide backdoor access to an otherwise secure network. A good decommissioning policy includes clear documentation, ownership verification, and post-disposal validation to ensure that nothing is left behind. For cloud assets, decommissioning may involve revoking API keys, disabling user accounts, and wiping persistent storage volumes. Whether physical or virtual, secure disposal is a final line of defense—and often one of the most neglected steps in the security lifecycle. A forgotten asset is a forgotten risk.
