- Kurt Seifried [ Secure Data Deletion ]

View this talk as Power Point

Most administrators and users are blissfully unaware of how difficult
it is to expunge data from computer systems and storage media.
Advances in storage technology, networks, file system software,
operating system advances and increasing mobility of data have all
conspired to make getting rid of data very difficult. Of course it
doesn't help that almost all "secure" data deletion products do not
work as advertised, or that encryption and other containment products
also fail to work as advertised.

The updated one is even less cheerful (but you'll have to wait till
next year to see it =).
