ZamLock Pro flash drive from Allyanz

Allyanz is now offering the ZamLock Pro secure flash drive for rugged industrial and military applications.

The ZamLock Pro features a 10-key PIN pad and multiple density options up to 16GB.

Physical protection highlights include:

- a strengthened anodised aluminium shell filled with an epoxy potting, providing a damage-resistant barrier; and

- IP57 rating for dust resistance and waterproof for immersion up to one metre.

Data protection highlights include:

- authentication performed on drive, not computer, making the drive immune to keyboard loggers;

- PIN-pad protection making the drive impervious to computer/internet-based hacking attempts, since the drive is not mounted until the correct PIN is entered;

- full-disk encryption with on-the-fly 256-bit AES hardware encryption; and

- deltion of both the PIN and encryption key after 10 incorrect PIN attempts, requiring a reformat of the drive (the drive is then recoverable, the data is not).

Usability highlights include:

- platform independence allowing use with and across any operating system with no updates required;

- compatibility with any software application (third party port management software, virtual desktop, portable applications, etc); and

- dual-PIN capability (administrator and user).
