Kanguru Defender 3000™ SuperSpeed USB 3.0, FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Certified, Hardware Encrypted Flash Drive

The Kanguru Defender 3000 secure thumb drive uses FIPS 197 Certified AES 256-bit Hardware encryption (XTS-Mode) to secure data contents stored on the USB drive. Since the cryptographic processes are all done in hardware, there is virtually no performance impact when transferring data, unlike the severe performance impact when using software encryption programs. XTS-mode also provides enhanced protection when used to encrypt large blocks of data (as in GB’s) as it eliminates certain vulnerabilities and patterns which might be exploited in earlier symmetric key implementations. In addition, the password matching and other security operations are all done in the secure confines of the tamper-resistant, epoxy encapsulated cryptographic processor. In short, your data can not be compromised.

Protect even more than just your data. Protect your network and infrastructure as well from malware tampering with built-in RSA-2048, Digitally-Signed Secure Firmware. Designed in compliance with NIST’s requirements for securing device firmware, this drive is protected from “badUSB” to prevent malware attacks by a third-party. In the event of such an attack, the drive is designed to shut down, preventing the flash drive from being used as a vehicle for hackers. This makes it an ideal, trusted encrypted USB drive for whitelisting in an endpoint security environment.

This hardware encrypted thumb drive offers USB 3.0 technology (USB 3.2 Gen 1×1) for lightning-fast data transfers, while also maintaining compatibility with USB 2.0. Connecting the Defender 3000 to a USB 3.0 supported USB port provides superior read / write speeds for quick, easy and convenient transfer of data.

Every Kanguru Defender hardware-encrypted flash drive comes with integrated onboard antivirus by award-winning BitDefender (30-day FREE trial). Built right into this secure usb flash drive, the antivirus consistently scans the drive in the background, ensuring that all of your files will be safe and protected from viruses.
