| Kingston Introduces Kingston DataTraveler Elite - Privacy Edition Kingston Technology Company, Inc. has introduced Kingston DataTraveler Elite - Privacy Edition, the world's first USB Flash drive that secures 100% of data on-the-fly via 128-bit hardware-based AES encryption, ensuring fail-safe security best practices without IT intervention. Offering up to 4GB of secure storage, DTE Privacy Edition is a plug-and-play USB device specifically targeted to meet enterprise-level security and compliance requirements. If the drive is ever lost or stolen, data on the DTE Privacy Edition device remains secure. In addition to hardware-based encryption, the drive features several other advanced security measures, including a complex password protocol and a mechanism that locks out would-be attackers after 25 consecutive failed password attempts, ensuring information is accessible only by authorized users, and thwarting even "brute force attack" attempts to access data on lost or stolen devices. The DTE Privacy Edition removes the onus on employees to take steps to secure data; the drive automatically encrypts data, ensuring best practice, fail-safe security. The drive is designed to deliver a smooth streamlined end-user experience. When authorized users access the encrypted files, they are able to view the data without the need for additional software. Additionally, DTEP Privacy Edition drives are operable from any computer, and do not require admin rights. Required by many software programs and a sore spot for many IT administrators, admin rights refer to membership in the local Administrators group, which must be granted and set up by the IT administrator.
