USB drive receives formal approval for public sector use
The device protects confidential data through 256-bit encryption and is the first of its type to be certified.
The loss of confidential data by government departments and across the public sector is a well-publicised and growing trend. Portable devices, such as USB drives are amongst the worst culprits – whether left on trains, in taxis or stolen, they act as a real threat to government security.
The UK government has now acted to tackle this issue. CESG, the UK’s National Technical Authority for Information Assurance, has just certified MXI Security’s Stealth M600 USB drive with official CAPS certification. This means it is formally approved to be used by the UK public sector, including both central and local government.
This is the first device of its type certified and protects confidential data through:
- on board AES 256-bit encryption
- hardware protection against malware
- digital identity and cryptographic services
- durable, waterproof and dustproof casing
- unique device recycling features
MXI Security is already a major supplier to the US and other governments, as well as UK organisations such as the City of London Police.
