Introduction
Since it began selling commercially in 2000, the USB flash drive, used for data storage, back-up
and transfer, is now smaller, faster, and has higher capacity than ever before. But over the
years, USB drives have developed a reputation as a security threat due to numerous high
profile data breaches and malware such as BadUSB. Their small size and ease of use allows
users to store sensitive data with risk of loss and unauthorized access. DataLocker has
developed an entire line of easy to use, hardware encrypted solutions to overcome security
threats and enable organizations to utilize the convenience of USB storage drives without
compromising security.
Although some can argue that USB storage usage has been declining, the
encrypted
or secure
USB market on the other hand, is rising at astonishing rates due to its ease of use and
implementation of new legislation worldwide (such as GDPR). While cloud storage grows in
popularity, users find that the speed, cost and convenience of physical USB storage devices are
irreplaceable. In addition, USB devices are still the leading solution when used in non-standard
computing environments such as copy machines, smart TVs, field data collection devices, ATM
machines, voting machines, etc. Also, encrypted USBs are a creative way to securely store
your cryptocurrency wallet data.
