Abstract: A system and method of permanently erasing the contents of a Solid-State Drive (SSD) which involves the destruction of the storage portion of the SSD by rapidly heating that portion of the SSD to a state at which the semiconductor devices which make up the SSD are destroyed or damaged. The system and method allows a user to locally or remotely erase a SSD drive to prevent the contents of the drive from being compromised. Certain embodiments of the system and method provide for the automatic destruction of the SSD should the device be connected to an unregistered drive controller.

Abstract: A method for automatically updating an access control with respect to a network is provided. The method includes obtaining, from within the network, employment status data for a first user, and comparing the employment status data with a most recent version of an employee record for the first user. When there is a change in the employment status to indicate that the employment of the first user has been terminated, an access of the first user to the network is automatically disabled. When the access of the first user is disabled, a notification message is generated and transmitted to one or more recipients.
