SafeStick is an ultra small, high speed, USB 2.0 memory stick available
in 1GB to 64GB capacities - with a very important difference - TOTAL
Hardware encryption of all data.
The stick features an on-board, non-bypassable Intel security chip which encrypts all data copied to and from
the device, to Government and FIPS certified AES 256bit.
Encryption
is totally transparent and requires no software installed anywhere.
Simply plug it in, enter your strong user definable password and
start using it.
SafeStick provides 100% FULL encryption. All files, folders and sectors are encrypted automatically - nothing is left to chance or user error.
For
managing ten, to hundreds of thousands of SafeSticks in a Corporate
environment, a full management and reporting console called "SafeConsole" is also available which hooks directly into Active Directory. More info below.
Why do I need an encrypted USB Stick?
Tens of thousands of unencrypted USB sticks are lost, misplaced or stolen each year.
Unless your data is encrypted it is incredibly simple for anyone to
view, remove and share ANY of the data that was stored on it.
There have been many high profile, embarrassing instances recently
where company employee details, patient details, bank details, customer
databases, credit card details and other confidential information has
been retrieved in this way and either distributed or used for criminal
purposes.
If your company does not
lock down removable drive access, and insist on data being stored on an
encrypted devices they are running a huge security risk.
Which Chip is used for the encryption?
An Intel 8051 Processor handles all the security processes.
Is there a timeout / lock feature?
Yes,
using the system tray icon you can lock access to the device instantly,
or you can set a timeout period - just in case you forget and leave it
inserted into a PC.
Can SafeStick be "managed" in a Corporate Environment?
Yes.
SafeConsole allows you to manage hundreds of thousands of SafeSticks wherever they may be in the world.
SafeConsole
provides full Windows Active Directory integration, management,
assigning of different policies depending on AD membership, remote
reset of passwords, auditing, data shadowing, reporting, disabling,
wiping of sticks and more.
What happens if the user loses a stick or forgets their Password?
If the stick is lost then the data is irretrievable.
If the password is forgotten then there are two options.
The stick can be reset, which permanently wipes all the data
Using the optional Enterprise Management Software (SafeConsole) a company IT Department can use challenge / response to reset the password as required and as pocily dictates.
Whats Sizes / Capacity are available?
Currently 1 to 128GB
What makes SafeStick different from other Encrypted sticks?
SafeStick is unique in its feature set. We believe it is the safest,
most feature rich, most secure stick available. Just a few of the
important features to look out for include;
Works with all Endpoint Security solutions such as DeviceLock to prevent data leakage
How Tough is SafeStick?
Because of its tiny size, SafeStick may appear to be fragile, however this is certainly NOT the case.

Repeated rolling over by a 2500lb V8 Range Rover.
A full washing machine cycle at 90%
30 seconds of acetylene blow torch
Repeated hits with a 2lb lump hammer
30 seconds of red-hot angle grinder sparks
A whack with a 10lb sledge hammer!
