FUJITSU ANNOUNCES SECURE USB MEMORY DEVICE PROTOTYPE

Fujitsu laboratories announced the development of two new technologies: A secure USB memory device and a file redirect technology. A USB memory device technology prevents unauthorized access to data from the device. This technology automatically erases the USB memory after a fixed period of time and the file redirect technology makes sure that the data from the USB memory can be stored only in a particular company server.

You will also have the option to configure the device to erase its memory at a set time. Also if after a fixed period of time the device is plugged into an unauthorized system, the data will either be automatically erased or the USB device will be rendered unusable. For example, you can set the device to delete the memory after 12 hours or the memory will be deleted if the device is plugged into an unauthorized system even once.

Installing the file redirect software in a system will restrict the copying function of the data from the USB device. The data can only be stored in the USB device or on a specified server. This technology can also be used to prevent transfer of data as an e-mail attachment or from being printed. This secure technology also safe guards the data from being transferred to file-sharing networks either accidentally or deliberately.

These two technologies are supposed to work together to give maximum security to your confidential data.

GOOGLE CHROME BROWSER MOST SECURE SO FAR?

Not everyone is into bling (we'll admit), an you might be overwhelmed by the large amount of browsers on the market.

IRONKEY – MILITARY STANDARDS TO SECURE DATA

Have you ever wondered how safe your data is? With viruses and hackers circling like vultures one is always in the look out for a safer device to store and access confidential data. Well you cannot find a safer flash drive than the one offered by IronKey Technologies. The IronKey is jam packed with cutting edge encryption technologies enabled by the powerful onboard Crypto chip which will always encrypt all the data written into the drive. The encryption keys are generated when you initialize the IronKey and stays in the hardware forever. It is never placed in a flash memory or on your computer. IronKey locks down your online account which can be accessed only if you have your IronKey as well your password. There is always a possibility of your password being hacked, but not the IronKey. If you enter more than 10 incorrect passwords the encryption chip self-destructs, which makes the memory of the flash drive completely unreadable giving you a maximum state-of-the-art security.

You can now do some very private surfing using IronKey’s Secure Sessions service and the secure version of Firefox browser which is already installed on the IronKey. The device itself is protected using advanced security technologies so that only you can get into your IronKey by using a password to access the data and if your IronKey is lost, you can restore the data in just a few minutes from a secure backup on to a new IronKey. It has a fast 30MBPS read and 20MBPS write and works excellently with Windows XP, Vista, Linux and Mac. IronKey is encased in a potted metal case and exceeds the military standards for waterproofing. IronKey is one of the strongest USB keys available and will protect your sensitive data better than iron.
