NewTech Infosystems, Inc. (NTI), announced today a new version of NTI Ninja, the preferred data security solution for users and manufacturers of USB Flash and other external USB drives. In addition to the user-adjustable partitioning, anti-tamper encryption and password protection that have made NTI Ninja so popular, the new version has been enhanced with a new level of convenience. Users can now access the secured data stored on their private partition from any PC, anywhere - there is no need to pre-install Ninja on the PC to access the users' private data.I downloaded NTI Ninja back in September when NTI was giving it away for free. While it has come in handy, I've had to install it on all of my PC's. Needless to say, I'll be upgrading to this new version. If you'd like to read more, NTI's entire press release can be found here.
