Kanguru today released a new secure usb flash drive, the KanguruDefender Pro. According to the company, the KanguruDefender Pro enhances both security and performance, addressing the needs of the most secure applications and users from government, healthcare and financial sectors. Its tamper-proof design makes it impossible to remove the KanguruDefender Pro’s chip without it breaking and becoming unreadable.

Security comes in two forms: (1) high-level hardware AES encryption and (2) a rugged, tamper-proof aluminum casing. Performance is enhanced through the use of hardware based encryption (Vs. software based encryption), which increases transfer speeds and means no administration rights are necessary for installing the drives, making it easy to roll out for IT system administrators. The KanguruDefender Pro then adds a diverse list of customizable options such as unique identifiers, serialization and security colors to make it adaptable to almost any secure application.

The KanguruDefender Pro comes in 1GB ($65), 2GB ($85) and 4GB ($130) capacities.
