SanDisk Cruzer Enterprise: Mac OS X gets secured Flash Drives as well
By Jenny • Dec 8th, 2008 • Category: UncategorizedApart from laptop theft, losing lost USB drives containing sensitive data is another major issue emerging nowadays. Everyday one or more organisations face the consequences of losing sensitive information, such as customer database, banking transactions, security files and more from lost hard drives. In order to prevent such issues, flash drive manufacturers began to create secured USB drives which offer features like data encryption and user authentication. One can find a variety of such secured pen drives, but the only problem is that most of them were developed exclusively for Windows operating systems. As a result Mac machines were still vulnerable to security threats.
With this in mind the world leading manufacturer of flash based storage devices SanDisk has launched a new range of secured flash drives, including the SanDisk Cruzer Enterprise and SanDisk Cruzer Professional, that offer native cryptographic services and can be run on both Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5. It features hardware-based 256-bit AES encryption and allows OS X users to log in and shut down access to the encrypted storage area, manage passwords, manage contact information and other preferences, as well as upgrade the firmware via Internet. So if you are a Mac lover then the SanDisk Cruzer Enterprise is an essential peripheral to have.
