SanDisk has announced that it is offering encryption and online backup features across its entire retail USB portfolio. SanDisk SecureAccess software protects files against unauthorized access by creating an encrypted, password-protected folder or "vault" on the USB drive. The software also includes up to 2 gigabytes (GB) of secure online backup storage offered by Dmailer.
"Business travellers lose more than 12,000 laptops each week in the U.S. airports, and more than half of those laptops contain confidential or sensitive information," said Kent Perry, Director - Product Marketing, SanDisk. "Data security has become an absolute necessity, and SanDisk USB drives with SecureAccess software offer an easy to use vault protected by AES encryption."
Encryption and online backup features will be shipping on SanDisk's entire retail USB portfolio later in the first quarter of this year. SanDisk is also expanding its USB product portfolio with two new drives to meet the needs of a broad set of customers. The SanDisk Ultra USB flash drive features faster transfer rates and the SanDisk Cruzer Edge USB drive offers easy portability.
