Protectstar Launches New iShredder Mac – The Fastest and Most Secure Data Shredder for macOS

November 13, 2024
Protectstar Inc., known for cutting-edge security solutions, announces the release of the new iShredder™ Mac. This completely redesigned version of the popular data shredder for macOS offers optimized performance, top-level security, and a range of new features. The upgrade provides users with a secure, user-friendly solution for the irreversible deletion of sensitive data, setting new standards in speed and security.

The new iShredder™ Mac is specifically optimized for Apple Silicon and has an optional sleek dark design. Every line of code has been reworked to ensure the shredder is faster and more powerful than ever before. iShredder™ uses over 20 certified deletion algorithms that meet and even exceed internationally recognized security standards. The technology is so secure that it’s trusted by governments and defense ministries worldwide.

Military-Grade Deletion Security 
The new iShredder™ Mac offers a robust solution for completely and irreversibly erasing files and free space. While many users believe emptying the trash is enough, data remnants often remain in storage. iShredder™ overwrites these remnants, preventing sensitive information from being restored for personal or business use. The “Secure Free Space Erasure” function offers protection against unnoticed data leaks and attacks.

Powerful Cleanup and Compliance Erasure Reports 
In addition to secure deletion, iShredder™ includes a cleanup feature that safely removes unused temporary files, junk data, and caches. This not only frees up valuable storage space but also enhances Mac performance. After each deletion, iShredder™ generates an erasure report, which can serve as a compliance record for data protection standards such as GDPR, U.K. Government InfoSec No. 5, U.S. DoD, and NIST 800-88.

Protectstar Sets New Standards in Data Security 
“With the new iShredder™ Mac, we’re delivering the most secure and fastest solution yet for permanently deleting sensitive data,” says Chris Bohn, CEO of Protectstar. “Our customers appreciate the intuitive interface, high level of security, and reliability of iShredder™, whether they’re using it for personal or professional purposes.”

The new iShredder™ Mac is available now on the Protectstar website at https://www.protectstar.com/en/products/ishredder.
