It is UFD’s ease of use, portability and costeffectiveness that have led to their widespread use. Despite their acceptance, many mid and large sized organizations have restricted the use of UFDs because they pose a potential information leak. It is feared that sensitive information, if copied to one of these drives, might end up in the wrong hands. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of 2008, the Department of Defense banned use of UFD’s as a potential threat for infecting secure networks where existing UFD usage policies were deficient. For the reasons described above, non-secure UFD’s pose several security challenges. Protecting the UFD and its contents from malicious and unauthorized access is paramount to a comprehensive security strategy. As a result, the marketplace has responded with a myriad of solutions attempting to address these issues. LOK-IT’s security strategy is based on three key components; user authentication, data encryption and physical protection of the drive and its components. The purpose of this technical review is to document LOK-IT’s overall security strategy and address best practices for UFD deployment. It is also intended to demonstrate why LOK-IT drives can be relied upon and why they offer the optimal balance of usability, security and value. Page 1 of 1
