- Lower Capacities Helps with
Enterprise Security by Limiting the Amount of Data that can be
Transported Outside of Network Firewalls
- Hardware-Based, Full Disk AES
256-Bit Data Encryption in XTS Mode
- New Capacities Join Company’s Other
DataTraveler and IronKey USB Flash Drives
Kingston Digital, Inc., the Flash memory affiliate of Kingston
Technology Company, Inc., the independent world leader in memory
products, has added 4GB and 8GB capacity sizes to its family of
DataTraveler 2000® encrypted USB Flash drives. The smaller
capacities join the existing 16GB, 32GB and 64GB models, and are
all FIPS-197 certified. All DataTraveler 2000 drives offer 256-bit
AES hardware-based encryption and PIN protection with access
through an onboard alphanumeric keypad.
DataTraveler 2000 drives are designed for global security IT
professionals, small-to-medium businesses and corporate end users
who require data protection in a USB. As the drives are OS
independent (compatible with any device with a USB 2.0 or USB 3.1
Gen 1 (USB 3.0) port, they are easily deployable in work
environments where multiple devices and operating systems are in
use. Each drive is protected with 256-bit AES hardware-based
encryption and no software or hardware drivers are needed.
“Lower capacity drives limit the amount of data that can be
copied off a network, making it more difficult for large amounts of
sensitive data to be transferred to unauthorized parties in the
event the drive gets lost or falls into the wrong hands,” said Ken
Campbell, encrypted USB business manager, Kingston®. “Since most
data leaks are the result of employees or others who have
authorized access to an organization’s network, the less data that
can be copied, the less that can be leaked.”
DataTraveler 2000 features an alphanumeric keypad which allows
users to lock the drive with a word or number combination for
easy-to-use PIN protection. A full-drive reset (whereby the
existing data is deleted and a new password is required) occurs
after 10 invalid login attempts to lessen a brute force intrusion.
For additional security, an auto-lock feature is activated when the
drive is removed from the host device even if not properly shut
down before ejection.
