Dont let your normal flash drive out of your sight, and save money.]]>Apr 7th 2008 1:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/Apr 7th 2008 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/
These things get lost all the time because they are small and unattached, not to mention that if you have any confidential data, it should not be written unencrypted to any disk, least of all a portable one.

I use TrueCrypt and TCExplorer, it's a good free option, but still a little clunky.]]>Apr 7th 2008 1:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/Apr 7th 2008 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/
So.. save a few dollars by going to Staples or save potential thousands, your job, and your company's by buying something secure, which would you chose?]]>Apr 7th 2008 2:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/Apr 7th 2008 1:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/
"which provide both secure date storage and RSA SecurID software tokens for two-factor authentication (eliminating the need for a separate hardware authenticator). "

You can encrypt any drive for free, sure, but you can't put SecurID on it and act as your authenticator.

If you don't work in an enterprise environment, you probably wouldn't understand.

Just because you have the SecureID, doesn't mean that you also have the location of the VPN client, the address to use said VPN client, and the user name + pin to login with.]]>Apr 7th 2008 3:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/Apr 8th 2008 4:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/Apr 7th 2008 3:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/Apr 7th 2008 3:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/
Just use any USB Flash drive and Truecrypt (http://truecrypt.com).

Bonus:

Works on all systems, regardless of OS.]]>Apr 7th 2008 3:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/
You'd need executables for every OS stored on the unencrypted portion. Plus on Windows you need Administrator rights, which you probably don't have if it's not your PC (Though TCExplorer can get round this).

This is where I see the advantage of hardware based security.

Feel free to correct me... I'd be happy to learn an easier way!]]>Apr 7th 2008 9:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/Apr 7th 2008 4:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/"So, now when someone steals your flash drive, they can break the weak encryption to get at your files AND use the token to impersonate you and steal more. Sounds like a winner to me."

Now I know why I don't normally read the comments here but I'll bite, 256 bit AES is very strong and has never been cracked so STFU if you don't know what you are talking about]]>Apr 7th 2008 5:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/http://www.slipperybrick.com/2008/02/princeton-broke-encryption-freezing-memory/
More of bypassing encryption on a PC hard disk, but certainly fallible.]]>Apr 7th 2008 6:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/Apr 7th 2008 6:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/Apr 7th 2008 6:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/Apr 7th 2008 7:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/http://olinari.com]]>Apr 8th 2008 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/Apr 8th 2008 8:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/sandisk-rolls-out-rsa-packin-cruzer-enterprise-flash-drives/
I recommend this product with the CMC software for enterprise environments. Good for compliance too!

if you are a regular home user, hacker wannabe or cheapo company, get a regular USB with "security" on it. ]]>Apr 15th 2008 5:58PM
