Kanguru Defender Elite with 256-bit hardware encryption
Kanguru today announced a new secure USB flash drive, the Kanguru Defender Elite. The newest encrypted flash drive from Kanguru is safe from the security flaw recently exposed in several high profile secure flash drives. According to Kanguru, encrypted flash drives manufactured by Sandisk (and private labeled by Kingston, Verbatim and a variety of other OEM partners) have been found to contain a security flaw leaving their devices vulnerable to data breaches. These devices front end software (where you type the password) does device authentication and provides a “thumbs-up” to allow access to the secure area of the drive. The software can then be hacked to always give a “thumbs-up” to the chip as if a successful password has been entered, leaving potentially sensitive data visible and unencrypted.
The Kanguru Defender Elite uses military grade 256-bit hardware encryption and on-chip password matching, safeguarding it from hacking attempts.
In addition, Kanguru offers remote management and USB device control for its secure flash drives, providing a level of security and control unmatched in the industry.
The Kanguru Defender Elite drive is now available for up to 128GB ($550) storage capacity.
