Kingston Announces Secure USB Solutions For Enterprises

Kingston Digital, Inc., the Flash memory affiliate of Kingston Technology Company, Inc., has announced a series of portable data security solutions - the DataTraveler 4000 (DT4000) and DataTraveler Vault-Privacy Managed (DTVPM) - offering enterprises flexible, cost-effective USB options that also deliver unmatched security control. Kingston delivers these new products as part of the secure USB family ranging from general purpose business use to flexible, managed enterprise offerings, and to platforms for government standards.

The DT4000 is FIPS 140-2 Level 2 validated for the entire cryptographic module - not just the security processor. The DT4000 will also be available as a centrally-managed drive later this year.

The DTVPM offers centralised control of all USB activity. Leveraging the world-class SafeConsole server software from BlockMaster, the DTVPM solution offers advanced features including password control, device state management, file audit log and file restrictor options to control what file types may be saved to the drive.

“Kingston is known the world over as the memory company of choice among the Fortune 500. Our expertise in high-level encryption standards, worldwide access to controllers and NAND Flash combined with tremendous purchasing power and distribution channels allow us to extend our heritage further into the corporate space with our secure USB offerings,” said Nathan Su, Flash Memory Sales Director, APAC Region, Kingston. “In addition to the DT4000, our relationship with a software security leader like BlockMaster gives our global customer base a back-end, centralised management solution for portable data peace of mind and protection.”
