How much could it cost you if your identity were stolen?
Time lost in phone calls and letters as well as having the anguish of raided bank and credit card accounts?
With the drop in price of laptops vs. desktop computers, many of us are opting for the portability of the laptop devices, but that comes at a risk. Whilst the laptops themselves way be worth only a few hundred pounds, the potential to have access to our personal data gives theives access to £000’s of our own money or access to new credit facilities in our name if you leave details on your computer.
In the last few months, SanDisk Launched the Enterprise Cruzer USB Drive. Most of us will be familiar with USB memory sticks by now, but most of those carry no form of protection via encryption or other security measures.
The SanDisk Enterprise Cruzer USB Drive helps to more effectively protect sensitive information on a secure USB drive in both Windows and Macintosh environments.
Cruzer Enterprise in Mac OS X and Windows PC environments has the same features and data security- even if used in both environments. The device can be initialized from either a Macintosh or Windows computer, where users can:
- Log in and shut down access to the encrypted storage area
- Change and manage passwords
- Change contact information, language and other preferences
- Launch online support, view current firmware and drive information
Available in 1-, 2-, 4- and 8GB configurations, Cruzer Enterprise supports Windows computers as well as Apple Macintosh Computers running Mac OS X 10.4 “Tiger” and Mac OS X 10.5 “Leopard.” Cruzer Enterprise safeguards all files stored on the drive with advanced hardware-based 256-bit AES USB encryption, which combined with advanced password protection will make it extremely difficult for unauthorized users to access data if the drive is lost or stolen.
Existing Mac Cruzer Enterprise users can download a firmware update at sandisk cruzer enterprise macupdater firmware download
.
The Cruzer Enterprise also comes in a FIPS edition which imposes even tighter security by making it mandatory that files stored to it are encrypted. However that extra level of security comes at an additional price. Given that you know that you need to protect your own data, you will use the available encryption on the standard Cruzer Enterprise device.
Now, wouldn’t it be better to store your personal data on a Cruzer Enterprise USB key attached to your keyring with the knowledge that the data is all but inaccessible to thieves? Wouldn’t you feel more secure keeping your data in a USB safe rather than on your Notebook (or desktop) PC?
