Kingston Helps Companies Secure Data With New Flash Drive
Kingston
is helping companies secure mobile data with its new DataTraveler Locker+ USB Flash drive. This new
flash drive encrypts 100% of the contents using 256-bit hardware-based AES
encryption. Access to the drive's contents requires a complex password. Brute
force attacks against the drive are reduced since the drive locks down and
reformats after 10 incorrect attempts. The new DataTraveler Locker+ is available
in capacities up to 32GB. Kingston also offers the DataTraveler Locker which
allows for both a public and an encrypted zone.
"Kingston created this drive to address the rise in data loss and theft which has been a growing problem with expensive consequences. This device gives companies a solution that is not only affordable but provides peace of mind in securing mobile data," said Mark Akoubian, business manager, Secure USB Products, Kingston®. "The DataTraveler Locker+ encrypts 100 percent of the contents and is available at a price point that is very attractive for all entities looking to comply with corporate security policies."

The 100 percent encrypted DataTraveler Locker+ ships in up to 32GB capacity. For companies in need of a partitionable area on the USB drive for public sharing (e.g., within an office setting), Kingston offers the DataTraveler Locker which allows both a public and encrypted zone.
