In addition, Kanguru has also released the Defender Elite300™ SuperSpeed USB 3.0 secure flash drive sporting a handy physical write protect switch for quick and easy switching to and from “read-only” mode.

“The launch of the Defender 3000 and Defender Elite300 continues to demonstrate Kanguru’s position as a global leader in the secure USB storage market,” says Nate Cote, Executive Vice President. “These drives provide the most robust, yet practical, feature set that organizations really need to easily secure portable data for an increasingly mobile user base.”
Security, Performance & Convenience
Both the Kanguru Defender 3000 as well as the Kanguru Defender Elite300 are designed with financial, healthcare, and government environments in mind, with whom full compliance is usually required with high data security policies. FIPS 140-2 Certification ensures organizations that the high-end 256 Bit AES Hardware Encryption, brute-force protection and tamper-proof protection is fully qualified to meet even the most demanding data security regulations. Now with SuperSpeed USB 3.0 technology, these new Defender drives also demonstrate high-performance transfer rates with up to 260MB/sec Read and 120MB/sec Write speeds depending on capacity, making it the most convenient secure flash drive on the market. Also as Kanguru is the only global USB manufacturer to achieve Common Criteria certification on certain flash drives, you can be confident Kanguru takes data security very seriously.
