Corporate and customer data are the lifeline of any company − to be safeguarded at all times and handled cautiously. Data breach trends and recent studies, such as the Ponemon Institute’s 2011 report, The State of USB Security, indicate that data breaches continue to occur far more frequently than they should and unsecured USB Flash drives remain a leading culprit. Additionally, failure to protect data can expose a company to a host of negative consequences including non-compliance, fines, financial loss and lack of customer confidence and trust.

Capacity upgrades include:

  • DT4000 ― Managed and DT4000 are designed for high-value corporate deployments and provide FIPS 140-2 Level 2 certification, 100 percent privacy and an optional Centralized Management system, all at an affordable cost. The SafeConsole® Management Software from BlockMaster® enforces full USB management control over an organization’s DT4000-M USB Flash drives. The latest DT4000 and DT4000-M have increased capacities up to 32GB and support Mac OS.
  • DTVP ― Managed and the DTVP are optimal for sensitive enterprise environments with 256-bit AES encryption, 100 percent privacy and an optional Centralized Management System, which is fully customizable to meet an enterprise organization’s needs. The DTVP and DTVP-M now offer increased capacities up to 64GB.
