Secure USB Drive

Solution Provides Integrated Secure Data Storage And Two-Factor Authentication Technology From RSA In SanDisk Cruzer Enterprise Flash Drives

SanDisk Corporation, makers of the Cruzer Enterprise Secure USB Drive has the ability to deploy, store and use RSA SecurID® software tokens from RSA, The Security Division of EMC. This “two-for-one” solution gives users a single device for secure data storage and two-factor authentication, an alternative to carrying both a flash drive and a separate hardware authenticator.

The Cruzer Enterprise USB Flash Drive is managed by SanDisk’s CMC (Central Management & Control) server software, making it easy for IT managers to provision and monitor flash drives throughout their lifecycle.

This solution is perfect for employees who need to travel light and still be completely connected t the office environment. IT departments also benefit since their concern with data security and regulatory compliance challenges is dealt with using the latest secure flash drive technology. By adding RSA SecurID, the drives provide IT professionals with tools to enhance employee productivity through mobility and remote connectivity.

In 2008 two-factor authentication is no longer a one-size fits all solution, so RSA chose to work with SanDisk to optimize customer deployments by balancing risk, cost and convenience and offering a broad choice of authentication mechanisms. By leveraging a single device to support additional security capabilities, deep security protocols are built providing necessary confidence that corporate data is being accessed securely by customers, partners and employees.

SanDisk Cruzer Enterprise secure USB drives protect every file with an advanced hardware-based 256-bit AES encryption. Users are also forced to create a complex password during the set-up procedure. The combination of encryption and password protection makes it extremely difficult for unauthorized users to access data if the drive is lost or stolen.

Central Management and Control for Secure USB Drives

Cruzer Enterprise Secure USB Drives are available in 1, 2, 4 and 8 gigabyte (GB)1 capacities, with read speed of 24 megabytes (MB) per second and write speed of 20 MB/sec2.

CMC server software provides lifecycle management for Enterprise drives, including centralized provisioning of drives throughout the organization, password recovery and renewal through the network, central back-up and restore, central usage tracking, and remote termination of lost drives. This means data is not lost when a drive is lost, and IT administrators can provision a replacement flash drive with user files stored on the network.

SanDisk Cruzer Enterprise drives with pre-installed RSA SecurID software tokens, as well as the Central Management and Control System (CMC) which includes a module to support RSA SecurID two-factor authentication.
