Stop by LandWarNet 2011, August 23-25, at the Tampa Convention Center, booth # 1617, to visit Kanguru and learn about our current solutions.
We will be showcasing the RocIT Defender Elite – our bootable, virtual PC on a flash drive, Hard Drive Duplicators and more.
Kanguru is pleased to announce the newest member of the KanguruClone Hard Drive Duplicator family. The new tower-style duplicator can make an exact copy to 5 HDD’s simultaneously at speeds up to 6GB /min.
At a retail price of $999.95, the new unit is a great value. It’s the perfect product for any integrator or administrator that needs a high speed duplicator, but doesn’t necessarily need all the extra features in our most advanced KClone products.
Kanguru is pleased to announce that the Defender Elite encrypted USB flash drive is now undergoing evaluation for Common Criteria EAL2+.
Common Criteria is an internationally recognized security evaluation program developed to ensure an information technology product or service meets a variety of robust government security standards. There are currently 36 nations, worldwide, which mutually recognize the merits of the Common Criteria Standard. Kanguru’s evaluation is being overseen by the German Federal Office for Information Security (Bundesamt fur Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI)).
“By undergoing the Common Criteria evaluation, we continue to position ourselves on top of the secure portable data storage industry.” said Don Brown, CEO of Kanguru. “Common Criteria, along with our fully manageable devices and current FIPS 140-2 Validations, distinguishes our products and services as the most secure, manageable and feature rich in the portable data storage industry.”

USB Flash drives: Petite, portable storage devices capable of storing gigabytes of data. They’ve revolutionized the business world with their convenience and portability; however, there is a darker side to the revered little flash drive.
Their tiny size often makes them easy to lose and their storage capacity allows huge amounts of potentially sensitive data to be stored on them. If lost or stolen a single, tiny, insecure flash drive has the potential to cause a massive data breach.
As state, federal and business regulations tighten on information security and impose fines and sanctions for data breaches, the question arises: Should flash drives be banned from work environments, as the Department of Defense did in the fall of 2008[i]? Or can they be used in a safe manner without limiting the very attributes that make them so popular?
The answer to this will vary greatly depending on your organizational policies and security standards; however, there are options for using flash drives securely.
A good starting point is encrypted flash drives. While encryption is important, there are many more factors to take into consideration in the overall security of flash drives.
In order to cover some of the new security developments surrounding flash drives and to figure out the best solutions for your needs I’ve come up with 11 basic questions to ask when buying a secure flash drive.
Question #1: What is the overall level of security and has it been certified by an independent, accredited entity?
Why it is important: Generally, the higher the encryption level (128-bit, 256-bit), the more difficult it is for a hacker to break. However, it is also very important that the device be tested for other relevant factors such as encryption tunnels, a true random number generator, physical security features, hashing, and the security of the device’s firmware.

In light of the recent successes of our Special Operations and Intelligence Services, and to honor our veterans who have sacrificed so much for the good of our country, Kanguru will be donating 10% of every online order placed this week to the Fisher House. (http://www.fisherhouse.org/) This includes ALL products! Flash drives, hard drives, duplicators and more.
About Fisher House:
“The Fisher House program is a unique private-public partnership that supports America’s military in their time of need. The program recognizes the special sacrifices of our men and women in uniform and the hardships of military service by meeting a humanitarian need beyond that normally provided by the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs.”
“Because members of the military and their families are stationed worldwide and must often travel great distances for specialized medical care, Fisher House Foundation donates “comfort homes,” built on the grounds of major military and VA medical centers. These homes enable family members to be close to a loved one at the most stressful times – during the hospitalization for an unexpected illness, disease, or injury.”

Out with the old, in with the new. As Kanguru continues to increase production of our flagship Defender Elite secure USB flash drive, we have phased out the previous generation Defender and Defender Pro models. Clearance inventory can now be purchased at discounted prices here.
The older products are great for organizations that are concerned about security, but might not need the stringent requirements of FIPS 140-2 certification. The Defender and Defender Pro use strong AES hardware encryption and do not require any software, drivers or administrator rights to use. Check our clearance page for daily updates.
Kanguru’s encrypted flash drives and remote management console have applications across a variety of industries. Kanguru has been involved with flash drive standardizations in organizations spanning government, healthcare, and financial industries to name a few.
One such partnership we are pleased to announce involves a top ten, prestigious Maryland Law Firm. Kanguru’s secure flash drives and remote management software were chosen to help keep their confidential data safe and secure and also help them meet regulations relating to data security and privacy. The security features built into the Kanguru Defender V2 help prevent data leaks and costly penalties for non-compliance with data breach regulations.
Kanguru’s high level of security features include: 256-bit AES Hardware Encryption, onboard anti-virus, and remote management with KRMC Cloud. These features, coupled with an attractive price point earned Kanguru a key spot within their overall security program.
