We have just announced that our Cruzer Enterprise secure USB flash drives have raised the bar for secure devices.  They are now the first and only FIPS 140-2 Level 2 USB drives to earn Common Criteria Certification.

This is an internationally recognized ISO standard (ISO/IEC 15408) used by governments and other organizations to assess the security functional requirements and security assurance requirements of technology products. With its certifications recognized in 26 countries, Common Criteria is an important global evaluation standard for security products.

The evaluation examines the entire device to certify its effectiveness in protecting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of sensitive information, and assures users that the security features of the product will perform as expected.

And speaking of performance, the Cruzer Enterprise range is also safe to use in harsh, wet environments, as it has passed environmental tests to meet Military Standard 810-F 506.4 and 512.4 when submitted to immersion and rainy conditions.  That’s a little extra reassurance that your data stays safe.

Our Cruzer Enterprise FIPS edition secure USB flash drive has been selected for evaluation for Common Criteria EAL2 certification under the Data Protection schedule of the Defense Signals Directorate, Australian Government Department of Defense.  

The Common Criteria is an internationally recognized ISO standard (ISO/IEC 15408) used by government agencies and other organisations to assess the security and assurance of technology products.  Certifications to the standard are recognized in 25 countries around the world, and show the solutions meet the most rigorous security requirements. 

The Cruzer Enterprise FIPS edition caters to the security requirements of government agencies and financial institutions, featuring FIPS 140-2 level 2 certification for encryption (a standard set by the National Institute of Standards and Technologies (NIST)).  

The encrypted flash drive imposes mandatory access control on all files, which are stored in a secure partition that implements 256-bit hardware-based AES encryption. CMC, the enterprise data management software adds a higher level of control to Cruzer Enterprise FIPS edition by centrally managing the drive’s complete lifecycle.
