SanDisk has announced two new secure USB flash drives. Developed with
business users in mind, the Cruzer Professional and Cruzer Enterprise offer password protection and hardware-based 256-bit AES
encryption.
SanDisk Corporation
(NASDAQ:SNDK) today introduced Cruzer Professional and Cruzer Enterprise, two USB flash drives that deliver strong security and
state-of-the-art speed to business users. Cruzer Professional is primarily for individuals and small businesses who want to protect
crucial data while also making it easy to share selected files. Cruzer Enterprise is primarily for medium and large organizations that
require mandatory policy enforcement, central management and regulatory compliance...
...Cruzer Professional and Cruzer Enterprise
offer password protection and virtually ironclad data security through hardware-based 256-bit AES encryption. Hardware-based encryption
is much more reliable than the software-based security used in most consumer USB flash drives with password protection, because
software-based protection relies on the host computer - which can be compromised by spyware and other threats -- to perform security
operations. Cruzer Professional and Cruzer Enterprise are true plug-and-play devices, requiring no software installation on a host
computer, so the drives will connect instantly to any computer running a modern version of Microsoft Windows.
The Cruzer
Professional and Cruzer Enterprise are available now in 1GB, 2GB and 4GB capacities and range in price from $54.99 to $184.99. More
