Fountain Valley, CA—Kingston Digital, Inc., the flash memory affiliate of Kingston Technology Company, added 4 gigabyte as well as 8GB capacity sizes to its family of DataTraveler 2000 encrypted USB flash drives.

The smaller capacities join the existing 16GB, 32GB and 64GB models. Also, they are all FIPS-197 certified. All DataTraveler 2000 drives offer 256-bit AES hardware-based encryption and PIN protection with access through an onboard alphanumeric keypad.

In addition, the drives are OS independent (compatible with any device with a USB 2.0 or 3.1 Gen 1 port. As a result, they are deployable in work environments where multiple devices and operating systems are used. Moreover, no software or hardware drivers are needed.

This makes it more difficult for large amounts of sensitive data to be transferred to unauthorized parties in the event the drive gets lost or falls into the wrong hands,” said Ken Campbell, encrypted USB business manager, Kingston.

“Since most data leaks are the result of employees or others who have authorized access to an organization’s network, the less data that can be copied, the less that can be leaked.”

DataTraveler 2000’s alphanumeric keypad permits users to lock the drive with a word or number combination for PIN protection. A full-drive reset occurs after 10 invalid log-in attempts to lessen a brute force intrusion. When that happens, the existing data is deleted and a new password is required.

For additional security, an auto-lock feature is activated when the drive is removed from the host device even if not properly shut down before ejection.
