The Last Mile of Cybersecurity: ITAM and ITAD Belong in Every Conversation

What happens after a laptop, server, or network device leaves production? For many organizations, that's where one of the biggest cybersecurity blind spots begins. In this episode of Data Security over Coffee, Dr. Joe Harford and Angie Singer Keating welcome Tony Perrotta, Founder of GreenTech, for a practical discussion on why IT Asset Management (ITAM) and IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) belong in every cybersecurity strategy. Together, they explore how secure asset disposition has evolved from an operational task into a business risk, governance, and compliance responsibility. The conversation covers chain of custody, certified data destruction, vendor due diligence, security controls, regulatory expectations, asset recovery, and why executive leaders should view end-of-life technology through the lens of cyber resilience. Whether you're responsible for cybersecurity, IT operations, compliance, risk management, or executive leadership, this episode offers practical insights into reducing organizational risk while strengthening audit readiness and long-term governance.
