You have a storage media with some data and you make efforts to remove this data. After
performing this, you analyze that the data remains present on the media. Which of the following
refers to the above mentioned condition?
A.
Object reuse
B.
Degaussing
C.
Residual
D.
Data remanence
Explanation:
Data remanence refers to the data that remains even after the efforts have been
made for removing or erasing the data. This event occurs because of data being left intact by an
insignificant file deletion operation, by storage media reformatting, or through physical properties
of the storage medium. Data remanence can make unintentional disclosure of sensitive
information possible. So, it is required that the storage media is released into an uncontrolled
incorrect. Object reuse refers to reassigning some other object of a storage media that has one or
more objects.
