No one thinks about it. Frankly, I don't think about it, either. Yet there is a data security hole that could sink your entire data center, and it's right there on that little USB memory stick.

The sticks are cheap and easy to use. They're also easy to lose and easy for thieves to swipe all the data held on the disk. Apart from barring employees from carrying sensitive company information on them (and yes, you should bar that activity), what more can you do to protect these disks should they be lost?

Enter RedCannon Security's new portable USB drive, KeyPoint Vault. It's chock full of security - it offers standards-based, military-grade software encryption and storage, as well as centralized management to ensure that privacy is maintained by automatically encrypting all files and locking out compromised devices. End-users are able to maintain productivity in the field, with the assurance that the data they carry and use will not be compromised.

If a USB storage device is lost or misplaced, the data may be deleted remotely or access to the device may be blocked. RedCannon KeyPoint Access combines encrypted storage and strong authentication on a single mobile device. Additionally, KeyPoint Manager tracks and logs all file activity, establishing a clear audit trail. Its flexible reporting helps organizations understand and analyze mobile storage usage, trends and patterns.

The storage device is already winning accolades - it has gained full approval from the General Services Administration (GSA) for Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 Level 1. This certification assures that the encryption and deletion of files in the KeyPoint system has been certified to perform at the highest level.
