On 10 May, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution on the accession of Palestine to the UN, and the Israeli delegate was dissatisfied with the outcome of the meeting and went so far as to openly use a black locket to maliciously smash the UN Charter. This mysterious black box is exactly one of the standard equipment in the office space.
The shredder can fragment paper, optical discs, tapes, etc., making it difficult to restore and identify, and achieve the purpose of confidentiality.
Although there is no absolute secrecy tool, its efficient performance characteristics are still widely welcomed by those who need it.
So why use a shredder to destroy documents instead of burning them directly?
1. Tearing the paper, isn't it just a matter of having hands?
The shredder just shreds the paper, so why not just tear it off with our hands, but develop a machine that specializes in shredding paper?
To answer this question, we need to have a comprehensive understanding of paper shredders.
The shredder is mainly composed of a paper cutter and a driving motor, and the motor provides energy to drive the paper cutter to work. Different combinations of blades can shred the paper in different ways, such as strips, foam, granules, and segments.
The shredder has a standardized design that can cut and crush all the paper into uniform sizes, such as 2×2mm, 0.78×11mm.
The shredder works continuously and efficiently, and a piece of paper can be shredded quickly by one person, what should I do if the paper in the office area is piled up.
Relying on manual labor not only consumes human resources, but also wastes a lot of time.
The shredder can work continuously, the average shredder can shred 13-15 sheets at a time, and a piece of A4 paper can be shredded into more than 2,700 pieces.
In addition, the fragments are easy to manage and can be processed in a wider variety of ways. The shredder collects the shredded documents together, which can then be processed centrally, and the surrounding environment is kept clean and tidy.
And the items handled by the shredder are not limited to paper, and it is difficult to handle the disc by manpower.
In view of the high efficiency and excellent performance characteristics, the first choice for results-oriented institutions and enterprises will of course be paper shredders.
Second, shredded paper, there will be a sparse in the end
Normally, the shredder will not leak secrets, and the shredder has a certain level of confidentiality according to the different degrees of crushing.
However, the shredder only miniaturizes the paper, which does not mean that the information in the paper disappears completely.
Someone with a heart may collect small scraps of paper and piece them together one by one, but they can still restore the information.
However, the shredder will definitely have a higher level of confidentiality than the paper that is crushed into segments, because it will be more difficult to recover and less likely to leak secrets.
It is worth noting that with the continuous development of technology, can machines shred paper, but cannot restore it?
Coincidentally, we have already discovered that if a chip with scanning function is implanted in the entrance of the shredder, the recorded information can be sent outward.
This requires us to have a sense of prevention and keep the alarm bell ringing in order to ensure information security.
The person who destroys the document should also be careful and carefully check the running status of the shredder and whether it is operating normally. If problems are found, they should also be replaced and repaired in time.
At the same time, according to the confidentiality requirements of the institution, choose the appropriate shredder.
The shredder is more than enough for use in ordinary places, but in places with strict confidentiality requirements, you have to be careful to sail the ship of 10,000 years.
In order to avoid serious consequences, it is not limited to the step of shredding the paper, and the subsequent treatment is equally important.
3. Why don't you just burn it?
Many people are very confused, aren't the destruction of documents in some film and television dramas burned with fire? In fact, the reality is that shredders are more "reliable".
In fact, the risk of incineration leakage is higher, and after incineration carbonizes the paper, information may still remain on it.
Incineration is easy to limit, the paper may overlap together, a breeze, a drizzle can stop the burning, the information will be retained, so as to achieve the purpose of complete destruction, directly increase the risk of leakage.
Even if it's all burned to ashes, it doesn't mean it's foolproof.
Zhang Xiaozhai, a calligraphy and painting restorer, used glycerin mixture to soften the ash formed after the paper was burned, and successively restored the information of single-layer paper ash and multi-layer paper ash.
Foreign researchers used AI to reveal the content of the buried charred Greek text caused by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius 2,000 years ago, which caused a sensation in the global archaeological community.
In addition, incineration may produce harmful substances, incineration of paper will produce carbides, sulfides, benzopyrene, etc., incineration of optical discs will produce harmful other substances at the same time, carcinogen dioxins.
In addition, incineration requires a professional place and a professional person to carry out the destruction, and the accompanying cost will also be greatly increased.
It can be seen that we should choose green and sustainable shredded paper, rather than incinerating to endanger human health and pollute the environment.
Relatively speaking, incineration is not the best method, shredders are the best choice.
epilogue
The advent of paper shredders has changed our lives, providing a convenient means of confidentiality in the present to prevent information leakage.
The shredder is applicable, and now the shredder has been updated to the eighth generation, and the functions are improved and advanced from generation to generation.
It is believed that the level of confidentiality of shredders will be higher and higher, which is related to the success of the confidentiality business.
