A lack of Mac support has kept enterprises from being able to effectively support removable-media security policies across all their users, according to SanDisk. The Cruzer Enterprise can be initialized from either OS X or Windows.
The device, said to be the first of its kind by SanDisk, uses hardware-based 256-bit AES encryption and imposes mandatory access control on all files as protection against loss or theft of the drive. Users can access all of the drive's encryption features from the Mac, including shutting down access to the encrypted storage area, managing passwords and changing preferences.
The Cruzer Enterprise is available in configurations of 1GB, 2GB, 4GB or 8GB, and supports OS X 10.4 'Tiger' and OS X 10.5 '\"Leopard". SanDisk is also making Mac support available on older versions of Cruzer Enterprise via a firmware update, available from the company's Website:http://www.usb-flash-drivers.com/.
In July, PGP Corporation targeted the ongoing problem of data breaches via mobile devices with PGP Endpoint, designed to allow administrators to centrally manage policies for various types of devices, including laptops, desktops and mobile devices, and removable storage, such as USB drives, CDs and DVDs.
