• Data Security: Support Secure Erase and end-to-end data path protection

DataLocker, a global leader in encrypted storage solutions, introduces DL GO, a secure and easy-to-use encrypted USB flash drive, alongside MySafeConsole, a lightweight cloud console that gives individuals and small teams centralized control—without enterprise cost.

DL GO safeguards data with AES-256 XTS (FIPS 197) hardware encryption and fast, familiar biometrics on both major platforms—Windows Hello (Windows) and Touch ID (macOS)—with no drivers required. It works online or offline, and can be enrolled into MySafeConsole (individual/SMB) or tied to SafeConsole (enterprise) when centralized management is needed.

DL GO: Automatic Encryption with Seamless Authentication

The DL GO secure USB flash drive delivers enterprise-grade encryption and frictionless sign-in—without the price premium. Built on DataLocker’s vetted, transparent supply chain, DL GO avoids the compromises common in ultra-low-cost drives. While many budget devices rely on commodity encryption chips sourced from China, DL GO uses non-Chinese encryption chips and traceable component sourcing to mitigate supply-chain and compliance risk—so you get strong security at a sensible cost.
