Axiz launches a world first with the Kingston DataTraveler Elite DTE with 100% Privacy Edition. Ideally suited to enterprise users requiring top data security, this leading USB flash drive secures 100% of data on-the-fly via 128-bit hardware-based advanced encryption standard (AES).
"The large capacity, portability and simplicity of USB storage devices has made them extremely popular among PC users. However, organisations are challenged in preventing the transfer loss of corporate data contained on these devices. The Kingston DataTraveler Elite DTE with 100% Privacy Edition is thus an ideal solution for organisations as it provides an efficient and cost-effective method of securing data," says Caroline Macharia, flash memory product manager at Axiz.
Offering up to 4GB of secure storage, the Kingston DataTraveler Elite DTE with 100% Privacy Edition is a plug-and-play USB device that is targeted to meet enterprise-level security and compliance requirements. Should the drive ever become lost or stolen, data on the USB will thus remain secure. It also features advanced security measures such as a complex password protocol and a mechanism that locks out attackers after 25 consecutive failed password attempts, ensuring information is accessible only to authorised users.
Macharia says the Kingston DataTraveler Elite DTE with 100% Privacy Edition addresses the major issue of enforcing security policies: "While organisations can easily establish security best practices and policies; the challenge remains in getting employees to comply. The drive essentially removes the onus on employees to secure data as it automatically encrypts information to ensure best practice and fail-safe security." It has also been designed to deliver a smooth streamlined end-user experience so that when authorised users access the encrypted files they are able to view the data without the need for additional software.
Operable from any computer, the Kingston DataTraveler Elite DTE 100% Privacy Edition is available in capacities of 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, 2GB and 4GB, has a fast data transfer read rate of up to 24MB/sec and a write rate of up to 14MB/sec. It also has data retention of up to 10 years and a five year warranty.
Immediately available from Axiz, the Kingston DataTraveler Elite DTE with 100% Privacy Edition suggested retail price starts from R399 for a 256MB to R1 999 for a 4GB, excluding VAT. For more information contact Axiz on (011) 237 7000.
