When it comes to flash drives, all we know is that storage capacity counts. But as far as SanDisk Cruzer is concerned, adding malware protection to help safeguard data seems to have caught the eye of Network Products Guide for its new found innovation. In fact, Sandisk Cruzer Secure USB drives have copped the 2009 Product Innovation award for its unique portable device.

The new features are very much welcome by users these days as we are all aware of security breaches when it comes to portable media that helps us carry our data anywhere. And for addressing that need, Sandisk Corporation gets lauded for this new important feature. The award recognizes vendors from all over the world whose innovative products bring essential changes to the information technology industry.

SanDisk Cruzer Enterprise secure USB drives help businesses mitigate the risk of data loss by imposing mandatory, hardware-based encryption on all files along with password protection to safeguard data stored on company-issued drives.

Cruzer Enterprise with McAfee Malware Protection extends these security defenses with automatic, device-resident malware scanning that prevents malware from attaching itself to the portable drive and in turn, infecting the internal enterprise host.
