SanDisk today announced that< SanDisk Cruzer Enterprise impose a hardware-based USB encryption solution that puts mandatory access control on all files as protection against theft or loss of the drive.



Cruzer Enterprise in Mac OS X and Windows PC environments has the same features and data security- even if used in both environments. The device can be initialized from either a Macintosh or Windows computer, where users can:

- Log in and shut down access to the encrypted storage area
- Change and manage passwords
- Change contact information, language and other preferences
- Launch online support, view current firmware and drive information

Available in 1-, 2-, 4- and 8-gigabyte (GB) configurations, Cruzer Enterprise supports Apple Macintosh computers running Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" and Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard." Cruzer Enterprise safeguards all files stored on the drive with hardware-based 256-bit AES USB encryption, which combined with password protection makes it extremely difficult for unauthorized users to access data if the drive is lost or stolen.
