iShredder Pro for iPhone removes every last trace of private data

February 14, 2012
Miami, Florida - From Protectstar , Inc., an award-winning provider of intelligent and forward-thinking IT security solutions, comes a mobile application that ensures iPhone users do not leave vulnerable personal information behind on a device. The Protectstar iShredder Pro for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch allows for the convenient and secure removal of any and all traces of private data that remain following the deletion of some apps and programs. A compact and simple-to-use app, iShredder's effectiveness belies its simplicity; it was designed to delete all data - including bank data, passwords, images, and other confidential information - beyond recovery.

Protectstar iShredder Pro features a selection of military-grade erasing methods, including Department of Defense (DoD) 5220.22-M ECE, US Army AR380-19, BSI/VSITR, Gutmann, and BSI/VS-ITR TL-03423, and results in the secure deletion of free disk space within a device. Designed to suit the mobile security needs of both business and private users, iShredder provides an intelligent, modern and secure erasing method for flash memory (SSD), and allows for data to be deleted in such a manner that - even in the hands of experts, or government agencies - it is completely beyond recovery.

"Personal data is so overwhelmingly difficult to protect these days, and with Protectstar iShredder our goal is to give iPhone users access to an easy-to-use, but very powerful, shredding application that can give them the confidence of knowing that they can eliminate all traces of their private data, especially if they intend to sell a device, pass it along or, dispose of it," said Mariah Bears, PR Manager for Protectstar, Inc. "Besides the powerful array of military-grade erasing methods, we also offer a wealth of features, and a top-tier technical email support service. This is because we understand just how crucial the protection of private information is, and - as a leading provider of modern IT security solutions for a new generation - we can provide that extra measure. iShredder is an example of what we do best."
