“Removable media continues to be widely used across all industry sectors especially by remote workers,” said Andrew Lee, CEO, ESET North America. “Despite the safeguard options available in today’s portable devices, we continue to see unfortunate events involving lost or stolen USB Flash drives resulting in large security leaks. With Kingston’s latest DTVP 3.0 secure USBs, corporations can choose to further safeguard sensitive data on these Flash drives with ESET antivirus also preventing possible infection to the host PC and network.”

DTVP 3.0 provides 100-percent hardware-based encryption of confidential information and is also available with ClevX DriveSecurity™, powered by ESET antivirus protection designed to be easy to deploy and easy to use in the corporate environments. The antivirus engine utilizes ESET’s NOD32® proactive award-winning, behavioral based antimalware technology, which protects corporate end-users wherever they work or plug in. The DTVP 3.0 is the latest in the evolution of the partnership announced in December 2012 between ESET, Kingston Digital and ClevX.

With the growing mobile environment of businesses, organizations must put security policies in place and educate their employees about data safety so that sensitive information cannot fall into the wrong hands. Kingston’s DataTraveler® Vault Privacy 3.0 USB Flash drive provides affordable business-grade security with 256-bit AES hardware-based encryption using XTS block cipher mode, which offers stronger protection than CBC and ECB modes. It is the first-to-market hardware-encrypted secure USB Flash drive with USB 3.0 performance.
