NIA - NATO Information Assurance

Attention: the NIAPC web site may not include all approved products.The list of approved products is always changing; there is a backlog of approved products still to be added to this information portal, and there are delays in responding to queries and inclusion of new products. NATO is reviewing options to improve collaboration and provide more timely information sharing of approved security products.

Proton T-4 Hard Drive Degausser

The Proton T-4 produces a bi-directional field which provides a 20,000 Gauss positive field and a 20,000 Gauss Negative field. The T-4 achieves this by using a unique, patented “Reverse Polarity”. Other degaussers may have either a positive or negative pulse, but only one. The T-4 has both and it is fully automatic. This ensures complete and permanent erasure of your data.

The T-4 has a LCD screen and internal Gaussmeter for performance verification. This new feature guarantees that your degausser is performing to NSA standards every time and eliminates the requirement of separate instruments to check field strength and/or re-certification programs.

Internal software requires all parameters (capacitor voltage, switch, etc.) are present prior to the “Go” display.

Additional Notes

The T-4 has a LCD screen and internal Gaussmeter for performance verification.

Patented “Reverse Polarity” Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) technology.

Fully automatic operation: no drawer to open and close, simply insert media into top slot and push start button.

Lightweight and portable design enables table top or floor operation.

Permanent destruction of confidential and classified data.

Sanitizes both Longitudinal and Perpendicular recorded media and is projected to reliably degauss future media with increased coercivities and higher Oersteds (Oe).

Stores energy from previous cycles to reduce subsequent cycle times and save energy.
