Cruzer® Enterprise
USB Security at Multiple Tiers

USB flash drives have been transformed from consumer gadgets into must-have productivity tools used by business people everywhere. However, most drives are privately owned and lack the mandatory security and control measures that organizations require. This exposes organizations to tremendous risks when a drive containing sensitive information is lost or stolen, potentially resulting in expensive customer notifications, a compromised company image, or failure to meet regulatory requirements.

SanDisk® Cruzer® Enterprise Secure USB flash drive imposes mandatory, hardware-based encryption on all files, protecting mobile data both within and outside the corporate environment. It is the first drive to fully support Apple Mac OS X computers and can be initialized from either a Macintosh or a Windows computer. By supporting both Macintosh 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.

Secure and Manage Enterprise Data, Everywhere

The Cruzer® Enterprise USB flash drive helps IT professionals more effectively protect information on company-issued secure USB flash drives. It is specifically designed to meet the unique security, compliance and manageability needs of enterprises. Rather than rely upon users to secure files, it imposes mandatory access control on all files, storing them in a hardware-encrypted, password-protected partition. This secures all stored data in the event of drive loss or theft. The Cruzer Enterprise secure USB flash drive features ultra-fast transfer speeds and a simple user interface, all in a plug-and-play device.

Central Management and Control (CMC) software can manage the complete lifecycle of Cruzer Enterprise secure USB flash drives, from initial user-deployment, through password administration and data backup, and finally to drive termination if lost or stolen.

Product Highlights

  • Applies powerful, hardware-based encryption

  • Imposes mandatory security on all files

  • Facilitates regulatory compliance

  • Centrally manageable (using SanDisk CMC software, sold separately)

  • Fully supports Apple Mac OSX computers

Compatible with Existing IT Infrastructure

The Cruzer Enterprise secure USB flash drive helps make the introduction of flash drives a simple and seamless process. The Cruzer Enterprise secure USB flash drive is easy to deploy and control, requiring no installation of dedicated drivers and no administrative rights to operate. The Cruzer Enterprise secure USB flash drive has been rigorously tested to help enforce policies on the usage of removable devices. This enables it to seamlessly uphold endpoint security. Industry members of SanDisk Enterprise Solutions Technology Alliance (SESTA) define the framework for such compatibility and interopability initiatives, as well as develop best practices in endpoint and portable data security.

Deployed by the World’s Leading Companies

The world’s leading companies understand the need to standardize on secure, company-issued portable storage devices. The Cruzer Enterprise secure USB flash drive technology is internationally employed by some of the world’s leading organizations, including accounting firms, investment banks and healthcare institutions.

Central Management and Control (CMC)
for Cruzer® Enterprise USB Flash Drives

Keeping track of data brought into/removed from a company on personal USB flash drives poses both significant security and regulatory challenges for IT departments. Many employees use their own devices to store company information, and may overlook company mobile usage policies. The data stored on such devices is generally not handled by routine company procedures such as backup, encryption or asset management. Organizations acknowledge the need for special safeguards to protect against the associated risks to sensitive company data. SanDisk Central Management and Control (CMC) software, teamed with SanDisk Cruzer Enterprise companyissued USB flash drive, provides these safeguards in an optimal manner.

Central Control, Tighter Protection

Central Management and Control (CMC) server-based software is an innovative solution that utilizes the unique hardware and embedded software capabilities of Cruzer Enterprise USB flash drives. The CMC device agent resides on a company-issued Cruzer Enterprise drive, enabling the corporate IT department to centrally manage devices both within and outside the corporate environment.

Added Security for Corporate Networks

CMC protects corporate data by coordinating the complete lifecycle of Cruzer Enterprise drives, from initial userdeployment, through tasks such as password recovery and data backup, and finally to drive termination. CMC provides continuous enforcement of company policy, tracking and monitoring activity beyond the corporate network. Now the control and management of mobile devices through corporate networks can be in the safest hands of all − corporate IT personnel.
