Kingston Digital, the Flash memory affiliate of Kingston Technology Company, a leader in memory products, has launched a series of new portable data security solutions.

The DataTraveler 4000 (DT4000) and DataTraveler Vault — Privacy Managed (DTVPM), offer enterprises the most flexible, cost-effective USB options that also deliver unmatched security control, a statement said.

The major features include:
• DT4000: brings military-grade encryption to corporations such as finance and healthcare, which require high-level protection for sensitive information. The DT4000 is FIPS 140-2 Level 2 validated for the entire cryptographic module – not just the security processor as with some other solutions. The DT4000 will also be available as a centrally-managed drive later this year.
• DTVPM: offers corporate customers centralised control of all USB activity.  Leveraging the world-class SafeConsole server software from BlockMaster, a company with the broadest and most mature management offering on the market, 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,” stated Antoine Harb, business development manager – MEA, Kingston.

Other upcoming Kingston secure USB Flash drives include a centrally managed version of the DataTraveler 4000 for corporations requiring FIPS 140-2 Level 2 security.-TradeArabia News Service
