Victorinox Adds Ultra-Secure USB Drive

Filed in archive Cool Products on March 28, 2010

Victorinox has added an ultra-secure USB drive to the Swiss Army Knife's bag of tricks.

"The latest version of the pocket knife, launched on Thursday, contains a memory stick that can store computer files and documents," writes Times Online's Murad Ahmed. "But realising its customers are more conscientious than most, its maker has developed technology which it claims is 'unhackable,' even self-destructing if it detects an attempt to break into an owner's personal files."

"According to the company, the device is the most secure of its kind that is available to the public," writes Crave's Dong Ngo. "To achieve this level of safety, the memory stick uses multiple layers of security including fingerprint identification and a thermal sensor."

"Aside from the security features, the Secure Pro still integrates a basic set of Swiss Army tools," according to Electronista. "Users can deploy the integrated knife, scissors, or nail file with a screwdriver point."
