If you are transporting data that you don’t want other people to see, on a portable hard drive or a USB flash drive, you should be doing so on secure media.
It is so easy to lose a USB stick, and it is possible that large quantities of confidential data (spreadsheets, documents, photographs, business plans or product designs) could be held on that device.
To prevent a data breach at your company and the potential loss of trust, regulatory fines, or legal recourse; it is essential that the USB sticks you use have some form of hardware encryption built in.
These sticks often look and feel similar to a normal USB drive and the encryption is managed using a password mechanism. Some have added security features such as a key pad or fingerprint reader on the drive itself.
The easy to manage Imation Ironkey and Imation Defender range will ensure that you can carry data around in your pocket, safe in the knowledge that if it falls out on the train – your data is not in the wrong hands.
