=================================================================
SEDs (Self-Encrypting Drives) are built-in hardware to computers that should be activated extensively (Wave SED management can do that) in organizations to protect data!!! The crypto-erase feature that is part of Wave's SED management could have made things easier for the IRS or could make things easier in the future at the end of the IRS's or organization's computer life.

Excerpts:

Enterprises choose Wave to manage SEDs

Why? From our single console, you can manage all your organization’s self-encrypting drives (SEDs) easily and remotely, whether they number in the hundreds, or hundreds of thousands.

SEDs are the most secure, best-performing and most transparent encryption option for protecting data on laptops. These drives automatically encrypt all data written to the drive, so you don’t have to decide what’s important enough to encrypt. They also perform this encryption in the hardware of the drive, so you don’t end up with the performance issues software full-disk encryption is infamous for. SEDs are available as HDD or SSD, and are sold by most major drive manufacturers.

Wave’s management solution delivers remote drive initialization, user management, drive locking, user recovery and crypto-erase for all Opal-based, proprietary and solid-state SEDs.
