And we are happy to inform you now that we have continued to work hard to provide you with more new and innovative features to use, which we have already succeeded in doing!
Numerous different accounts with various passwords, and in the end: absolutely no overview of which one belongs where. Well, not with Securaze! We support you and allow you to memorize one password less. But how does it work? Find out in this blog!
Work Diagnostics is a part of the Securaze Work software program designed for testing the functionality of various parts of a technical device. The diagnosis improves and enriched reports and the authenticity of Securaze products and helps in the efficient and thorough classification of reusable and resalable items. With Work Diagnose, you have a detailed overview of your assets and can make projections of potential revenue when considering what to repair and sell or dispose of. Customers then buying these used items receive a certificate confirming the status of the equipment, adding value and making it more trustworthy.
The diagnosis can be run automatically or manually after Work boots up on a device, depending on which tests you want to run. Tests of RAM, battery, motherboard, Bluetooth and WiFi are performed automatically in the background and do not require any further attention from the operator once started. When the tests have been completed, the user receives a pop-up window with information about their completion and whether any errors occurred. USB, screen, webcam, keyboard and mouse are tested manually and require the user's intervention.
USB ports are tested by connecting a device in order to list all detected ports. When testing the screen, the first thing to do is to select a test type, as shown in the picture below, and afterwards the screen changes colors from red, to green, to blue, to black and white squares, to white only, to black only, and then back to screen displays. In case of screen problems, the part of the screen being damaged can then be selected.
The DoD specification was set long ago, when rotating magnetic media hard drives ruled the IT world. To erase these drives, overwriting all data with zeros or random patterns - whatever the standard offered - was enough. But the world changed and entered the age of digitalization, and with it came new hard drives like SSDs (solid state drives).

It can affect a wide array of tasks, whether that be as simple as charging your iOS devices or something more advanced, such as when you connect your devices to a computer for data sanitization. Whatever it is, charging cables are the primary means for handling these tasks. However, these must be maintained - and your old charging cables are broken after frequent use. Now the question is: do I order new charging cables from Apple or an Apple MFi-Certified third-party which cost a premium, or do I simply opt to order cheap cables from Amazon or some other retailer, which seem to be exactly the same?
There are plenty of reasons to recycle your endpoints. Employees come and go, and budgets are always stretched thin. Device recycling helps you address both of those corporate realities; but today, there’s even greater cause to rely on your devices for longer periods of time to ensure a safe recycling process once they’ve reached end of life: protecting our world’s children.
In July, U.S. President Biden signed an Executive Order that encourages the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to ensure consumers have the right to fix their own electronics. More specifically, the EO urges the FTC to ban what the administration considers anti-trust behaviors by manufacturers when they require repairs be done by either the manufacturer or one of their authorized dealers. On the heels of the EO, the FTC recently voted 5-0 they will create rules to prohibit the behavior and enforce them.
