Your Old Laptops Are a Security Risk. They Could Also Be a Cheque.

Featuring Paul Da Silva Regional Director ITAD ANZ Sims Lifecycle Services

Layoffs leave a trail of hardware behind them. Laptops, hard drives and devices sitting in cupboards or heading out the door. Every one of them can carry customer records, credentials and IP. One drive that isn't properly wiped could become your next breach headline. What if that risk could become revenue instead? Sims Recycling has been securely retiring business IT for years, and it doesn't stop at keeping the data safe. It turns that equipment into funds for the business. Recently it handed one Australian company a cheque for $300K.

What you will learn


  • Why end-of-life hardware is a growing blind spot as teams shrink

  • What properly certified data destruction looks like and what to ask your provider

  • How companies are recovering real value from devices they had written off

  • What’s behind the $300K cheque and how to work out what your own hardware might be worth

Who should attend: CISOs, CIOs, CFOs, IT asset and procurement leaders, and anyone managing a restructure.
