Secure USB Drive

The results from a recent international security survey showed that a majority of small & medium businesses (SMBs) felt they lacked basic security measures to protect their sensitive business data.

The top three security concerns stated by SMBs were viruses, data breaches, and loss of confidential or proprietary information through USB and other devices.

Yet one of the key findings was the low take-up of endpoint security of any kind, with well over half (56%) of the SMBs surveyed saying they had no endpoint protection deployed.  Two of the key reasons stated for this low level of uptake were lack of budget (41%) and employee skills (40%).

However, there’s no need to spend big money, or deploy large-scale solutions to secure against data loss or leaks via USB.  Secure USB flash drives enable staff to enjoy the portability and convenience of USB without the risks, by automatically securing data copied to them. 

What’s more, these drives can add additional security features, such as anti-malware capability while being easy to use, as this review shows.

With security, it’s often the small things that count.
