Zeroisation is a security procedure employed to eliminate or render inoperable sensitive information stored in electronic devices, memory, or other storage media. This process typically involves overwriting the data with zeroes or random values, ensuring that the original information cannot be recovered or accessed after the operation. Zeroisation is often used in contexts where classified or sensitive data is handled, such as in military or government environments, to prevent unauthorized access in case a device is lost or compromised.
