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 secure USB flash drives have been further enhanced to meet the needs of government employees.  The drives have been independently tested to be waterproof under Military Standard 810-F, and the user interface has been reconfigured for better accessibility for visually-impaired users. 

The drives are certified as waterproof when immersed or in rainy conditions.

The drives are also suitable for use by the visually impaired under the requirements of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which requires federal agencies to make IT accessible to people with disabilities.  The drives’ user interface is compatible with assistive technologies such as screen reader software that recreates the Cruzer Enterprise’s GUI through text-to-speech representation or via a Braille output device.

Of course, Cruzer Enterprise drives feature industry-leading cryptographic modules and encryption algorithms, and are fully compliant with Trade Agreements Act (TAA) requirements, qualifying them under the strictest federal guidelines.  They are also the only secure USB drives listed for Common Criteria certification.
