"Kanguru understands the
challenges organizations face today when trying to balance security
requirements against budget constraints,"
states Nate Cote, VP, product management. "With the release
of the Kanguru Defender Basic+ and the Defender DualTrust, customers
have a viable, enterprise option to address their data protection and
secure browsing needs at a very affordable price point. These
solutions provide more value to the customer than anything else
available in the market today."

The AES 256-bit hardware encrypted
Defender Basic+ brings a level of protection suited to budget
conscious PC and Mac users by offering remote management
capabilities. Remote management is the way to secure portable data
and meet security requirements by enabling IT administrators with the
ability to track and manage all secure drives worldwide, notify users
and roll out policy updates, manage passwords, disable and delete
lost or stolen drives, create compliance reports and more. Managers
can distribute secure USB drives to staff and employees for
conducting business, without compromising security of the data or
risking data loss. The remote management solution is available as a
cloud-based SaaS offering or may be installed on a customer hosted,
existing enterprise server.

The Defender DualTrust provides a
stronger protection for individuals within an organization with
accounting or financial responsibilities as well as anyone that
requires a secure browsing environment; which is built into the
solution. This device is made for online bill paying and investing,
making purchases, or any other type browsing in a safe environment on
any PC. It is protected from viruses, malware or spyware that could
‘trace one’s steps’ in an ordinary browser window. By bypassing the
computer’s OS, the key isolates itself, and provides a secure online
session every time. You can save your files to the AES 256-bit
hardware encrypted drive and take it with you wherever you go,
leaving no trace of your session behind on the host computer.

With increasing cyber threats and
changing technologies, businesses and households are finding it more
and more difficult to keep up and secure private data and
intellectual property. This family of hardware encrypted drives
balances flexibility with security.
