detecting a security breach of a sealed device defining an inner chamber housing a component communicable with a computer, and digital data being storable on the component, the detecting of the security breach of the sealed device including monitoring the sealed device using a computer communicating with a mechanism, the computer being capable of activating the mechanism for rendering the sealed device inoperable, and wherein the security breach of the sealed device includes a physical event to the sealed device;

activating the mechanism which communicates with the inner chamber for physically disabling the component in the sealed device, in response to the detecting of the security breach; and

incapacitating the component as a result of the mechanism physically contacting the component, in response to the activation of the mechanism, the incapacitating of the component renders digital data stored on the component unretrievable by a computer.
