SanDisk Introduces Cruzer Enterprise Fips Edition, a USB Flash Drive Providing Government-Certified Security
Sunday, April 13th, 2008
SanDisk Corporation has introduced Cruzer® Enterprise FIPS Edition, a USB flash drive with security certified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) of the United States through its Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) program.
Many government agencies require FIPS certification for portable storage devices, as do some private-sector companies in highly regulated industries such as financial services and healthcare. Based on SanDisk’s secure Cruzer Enterprise flash drive, the new Cruzer Enterprise FIPS Edition has additional data protection features including:
* A software self-test routine that automatically runs whenever the drive is powered up, to verify the drive’s cryptographic function is intact.
* Physical protection for the drive’s internal security module to deter tampering.
