Fujitsu Laboratories Limited and Fujitsu Laboratories of America, Inc. today announced the development of two new technologies designed to prevent the unwanted disclosure of data from lost universal serial bus (USB) memory devices and prevent uploads to file-sharing networks: a USB memory device technology that after a fixed period of time automatically erases data stored on the USB memory, and a file redirect technology which ensures that the data from the USB memory device can only be stored on a specified server. This creates a secure environment that protects confidential information and allows USB memory devices to be used as a convenient way to safely carry customer data back to one's own company to manage the data.

Leakage of personal or confidential information has grown to become an urgent problem that companies must address. In particular, portable storage medium devices such as USB memory devices are convenient for carrying information from the office to the home, but they can be lost or stolen during transit, or data stored on the devices can be leaked via a file-sharing network when viewed from personal PCs at home. Incidents involving this problem have affected a multitude of companies regardless of industry, and there is an urgent need for a practical way to resolve this problem.
