Provide Military Grade Protection For Sensitive Data with Innovative Hardware Security Device, Up to 32 GB
Toshiba’s Digital
Products Division (DPD), a division of Toshiba America Information
Systems, Inc., today introduced the Toshiba Encrypted USB Flash Drive, a
device that utilizes a hardware based encryption process to deliver a
robust, secure (military grade AES 256-bit encryption)1, easy
to use and affordable solution to safely make sensitive data portable.
Ideal for enterprise companies, government agencies and concerned
consumers, the Toshiba Encrypted USB Flash Drive offers a higher
assurance of security.
Available in 4GB, 8GB, 16GB and 32GB2 capacities, the Toshiba
Encrypted USB Flash Drive uses a built-in mini-keyboard to authenticate
access, incorporating a rechargeable battery so the user can enter a
secure code before plugging into a USB port. Users simply enter their
secure PIN and plug the drive into any USB 2.0 port on a compatible
device. Once access is granted, the drive “unlocks” the media,
permitting clearance to all of the content stored on the drive. When the
drive is removed from a USB port, the drive automatically re-locks and
encrypts the stored media.
“There is a heightened sense of awareness that confidential content is
at risk,” said Maciek Brzeski, Vice President of Branded Storage
Products, Toshiba Digital Products Division. “Toshiba developed the
Encrypted USB Flash Drive as a new way to provide portable data security
with one of the highest encryption standards available on the market.”
Should the Toshiba Encrypted USB Flash Drive become lost or stolen, it
is equipped with a Brute Force Hack Defense Mechanism that will render
all stored information irrecoverable after 10 consecutive unsuccessful
attempts to enter the secure PIN. The Toshiba Encrypted USB Flash Drive
also carries a FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards)
Publication 140-2 Level 3 certification, issued by the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a certification often
required by government agencies and other data security sensitive
industries, such as healthcare and finance. The Toshiba Encrypted USB
Flash Drive incorporates DataLock® Technology by ClevX, LLC.
