The Center for Internet Security (CIS) July Newsletter reminds users to properly dispose of old or unused data and 
devices. Without careful management of online accounts, cloud storage, physical storage, and electronic devices, users 
could inadvertently disclose sensitive information that can be exploited by cyber criminals. CIS is home to the 
Multi-State Information Sharing & Analysis Center (MS-ISAC), a Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) 
partner focused on cyber threat prevention, protection, response, and recovery for U.S. state, local, tribal, and 
territorial government entities.

CISA encourages users and administrators to review the CIS Newsletter on Cleaning Out Your Old Data and Devices [ 
https://www.cisecurity.org/newsletter/cleaning-out-your-old-data-and-devices/ ] and the CISA Tip on Proper Disposal of 
Electronic Devices [ https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/tips/ST18-005 ] for more information.
