FIPS-certified, secure USB flash drive SafeStick® will hold 64GB

(PRLEAP.COM) IT security company BlockMaster today announced the immediate availability of a 64GB version of SafeStick®, its encrypted USB flash drive. In the United States, the device has also been awarded Federal Information Processing Standards 197 certification by the National Institute of Standards and Technology for conforming to the Advanced Encryption Standard algorithm. This makes SafeStick® the highest-capacity FIPS-certified secure USB flash drive in the world.

With the new SafeStick® 64GB portable hardware, users are assured lightning-quick backup of a full hard drive, and all work documents are safe and readily accessible at all times. The SafeStick® 64GB promises speeds of up to 28.8MB/s read and 15.4MB/s write. It will hold up to 6.4 million word processor pages and weighs just one-third of an ounce (10 grams).
Used by companies around the world in all industries to protect portable information, SafeStick® encrypts and password-protects all information stored on the drive, thus ensuring that only the rightful owner can access stored information. Among BlockMaster’s customers are numerous Fortune Global 2000 companies such as SAPA and many government organizations such as the U.K.’s National Health Service.

"We were impressed with SafeStick® because of the level of security it offers, as well as its ease of use and value," states James Norman, an associate director within the George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust. "SafeStick® drives are being deployed throughout the whole trust to replace existing memory sticks, thus providing reassurance that should any [devices] fall into the wrong hands, the data held on them will be safe from disclosure."

The SafeStick® 64GB is available through resellers in 28 countries and through BlockMaster’s SafeStick® Shop for other parts of the world. FIPS certification is available for SafeStick® drives that contain between 512MB and 64GB.
