Kanguru Solutions today announced its latest security product, the Kanguru Defender Basic, a hardware encrypted, secure flash drive designed for everyday use.

“Our goal with the Defender Basic is to provide a highly secure flash drive at an affordable price so that consumers can get the same level of security that businesses and government organizations get.”
The Kanguru Defender Basic is the latest in the Defender line of encrypted flash drives, following the FIPS 140-2 Certified Kanguru Defender Elite and the Kanguru Defender V2. The Defender Basic offers security features including:

• 256-bit AES Hardware Based Encryption
• Limited Password Attempts
• Free 1 Year Anti-Virus/Malware Protection
• No Administrative Rights Required for Use
• On-Chip Password Matching

Don Brown, CEO of Kanguru Solutions says  “The Kanguru Defender Basic retains the same high level hardware encryption as our government and enterprise model, the Kanguru Defender Elite, but removes some of the higher end components such as remote management and FIPS 140-2 Certification. This way we are able to produce a highly secure device that hits a very attractive price point for consumers closing in on the price of unencrypted drives.”

Capacities for the Kanguru Defender Basic start at 2GB and go up to 128GB.
