•        Lower Capacities Helps
with Enterprise Security by Limiting the Amount of Data that can be Transported
Outside of Network Firewalls

•        Hardware-Based, Full
Disk AES 256-Bit Data Encryption in XTS Mode

•        New Capacities Join
Company’s Other DataTraveler and IronKey USB Flash Drives

August
15, 2017 − Kingston,
the independent world leader in memory products, has added 4GB and 8GB capacity
sizes to its family of DataTraveler 2000® encrypted USB Flash drives. The
smaller capacities join the existing 16GB, 32GB and 64GB models, and 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.

DataTraveler 2000 drives are designed for global
security IT professionals, small-to-medium businesses and corporate end users
who require data protection in a USB. As the drives are OS independent
(compatible with any device with a USB 2.0 or USB 3.1 Gen 1 port), they are
easily deployable in work environments where multiple devices and operating
systems are in use. Each drive is protected with 256-bit AES hardware-based
encryption and no software or hardware drivers are needed.

“Lower capacity drives limit the amount of data that
can be copied off a network, making 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 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 features an alphanumeric keypad
which allows users to lock the drive with a word or number combination for
easy-to-use PIN protection. A full-drive reset (whereby the existing data is
deleted and a new password is required) occurs after 10 invalid login attempts
to lessen a brute force intrusion. 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.

With the addition of 4GB and 8GB capacity sizes to the
DataTraveler 2000 line, Kingston has a broad range of solutions designed for
the highest levels of government use to enterprises and organizations of all
