SanDisk has announced that the SanDisk Cruzer Enterprise is the first secure USB flash drive to fully support Mac OS X. It’s designed to help IT professionals more effectively protect information on company-issued secure USB drives in Macintosh environments.
SanDisk Cruzer Enterprise is designed to meet the unique USB security, compliance and manageability needs of today’s enterprises by imposing a hardware-based USB encryption solution that puts mandatory access control on all files as protection against theft or loss of the drive, according to Yariv Fishman, senior manager, product marketing management, enterprise division, SanDisk. By supporting Mac and Microsoft Windows environments, IT professionals can more effectively use SanDisk Cruzer Enterprise to protect information on company-issued secure USB flash drives across their organizations, he adds.
The device can be initialized from either a Mac or Windows computer, where users can: log in and shut down access to the encrypted storage area; change and manage passwords; change contact information, language and other preferences; and launch online support, view current firmware and drive information
Available in 1GB, 2GB, 4GB and 8GB configurations, Cruzer Enterprise supports Mac OS X 10.4 and higher. The drives safeguard all files stored on the drive with hardware-based 256-bit AES USB encryption. Existing Cruzer Enterprise users may download a firmware update for the Mac.
