Portable, self-contained encryption for removable storage devices and optical media

Technical Specifications FAQ Demos

Overview

With USB memory devices now able to store gigabytes of data and available in hundreds of different form factors, it’s no surprise that they have become a key way to exchange data with colleagues, partners, and even customers. The challenge is that their convenience also presents a security risk if one of these devices is lost or stolen. Many of the data breaches now being experienced by public and private enterprises have occurred because these small, convenient devices are dropped in a public setting or stolen from cars, briefcases and in some cases out of the offices of those using them.
