A recent article posted in Information Week details some interesting trends related to USB Flash Drive usage and security. According to the story “In the past two years, 70% of businesses have traced the loss of sensitive or confidential information to USB flash memory sticks”
Flash drives are incredibly useful; however, as the Information Week article shows, their tiny size and massive storage capacity make them a security threat as well.

Kanguru is proud to announce a new partnership with OPTIMAL System-Beratung that will make Kanguru Secure USB Flash Drives available in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
OPTIMAL, based in Aachen, Germany, has extensive experience distributing system management and security products. View today’s press release (German) for additional details on the partnership.
Kanguru will be exhibiting at Infosecurity Europe 2010 at Earls Court, London this week. Visit Kanguru and distributor Invensys Technology at Stand L93 to learn about the latest developments in secure, managed USB devices.
Kanguru’s Defender Elite secure USB flash drive is now shipping standard with BitDefender’s anti-virus service. One year of virus protection is included in the purchase price of the drive. To configure or start a manual scan, simply open the taskbar menu and select “Antivirus”.
Defender Elite anti-virus not only protects your thumb drive but can also be used to scan and disinfect the host computer’s hard drive or other portable drives that are connected to the workstation.
Defender Elite units that were purchased prior to March 2010 can be upgraded to anti-virus service by clicking the “Check for Updates” menu option. The free 1-Year service will begin at that point and virus definitions will automatically be imported by the device.
See our previous post for more information on Kanguru and BitDefender anti-virus.
Kanguru invites Government & Industry to visit us at FOSE 2010 at the Washington Convention Center, March 23-25. Kanguru is Booth #2930.
This year, Kanguru is exhibiting the FIPS 140-2 certified Kanguru Defender Elite secure flash drive. Designed specifically to meet US Government specs, this device uses 256AES Hardware Encryption and features built-in Anti-virus protection. Federal Government agencies are still scrubbing infected computers nearly a year and a half after the Conficker virus outbreak in late 2008. The risk from this type of USB-spread virus can be greatly reduced by using secure devices like Defender Elite.
