Secure USB Drive Comes To OS X
Lost USB drives with sensitive data have grown to become a significant problem, recently. And there really hasn't been a viable USB-drive for the Mac armed with native crypto. That changed today with the new SanDisk Cruzer Enterprise, which comes in 1-, 2-, 4-, and 8-GB versions, and works with OS X 10.4 AND 10.5. It has hardware-based 256-bit AES encryption.
Also, from SanDisk's release: 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: That makes it easier for security admins to manage the security of their flash drives, even in mixed OS environments. According to IronKey's Web site, its Mac OS X encrypted personal USB flash drive is in beta. « Net Neutrality Foe Charges Google With Bandwidth Freeloading | Main | FatWire Releases Content Server 7.5 » |
