Toshiba Enterprise USB 2.0 Keys With AES 256-Bit Encryption

Toshiba’s Digital Products Division (DPD), a division of Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc., introduced its Encrypted USB Flash Drive, a device that utilizes a hardware based encryption process to deliver a robust, secure (military grade AES 256-bit encryption, easy to use solution to safely make sensitive data portable.

For enterprise companies, government agencies and concerned consumers, the drive offers a higher assurance of security.
 
Available in 4GB, 8GB, 16GB and 32GB capacities, they use a built-in mini-keyboard to authenticate access, incorporating a rechargeable battery so the user can enter a secure code before plugging into a USB port. Users enter their secure PIN and plug the drive into any USB 2.0 port on a compatible device. Once access is granted, the drive ‘unlocks’ the media, permitting clearance to all of the content stored on the drive. When the drive is removed from a USB port, the drive automatically re-locks and encrypts the stored media.
 
“There is a heightened sense of awareness that confidential content is at risk,” said Maciek Brzeski, VP of branded storage products, Toshiba Digital Products Division. “Toshiba developed the Encrypted USB Flash Drive as a new way to provide portable data security with one of the highest encryption standards available on the market.”
 
Should the drive become lost or stolen, it is equipped with a Brute Force Hack Defense Mechanism that will render all stored information irrecoverable after 10 consecutive unsuccessful attempts to enter the secure PIN. It also carries a FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) Publication 140-2 Level 3 certification, issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a certification often required by government agencies and other data security sensitive industries, such as healthcare and finance. The Toshiba Encrypted USB Flash Drive incorporates DataLock Technology by ClevX, LLC.
 
The Encrypted USB Flash Drive is available for purchase at select retailers and on Toshiba’s  web site for $95 MSRP for the 4GB model, $112 MSRP for the 8GB model, $140  MSRP for the 16GB and $200 MSRP for the 32GB model.

A 3-year standard limited warranty is included with all models.
