As far as USB drives are concerned, security and care for them since they are perceived to contain valuable information was usually left at the hands of the person handling it. Occupation was never seen to be a problem but it looks like SanDisk will be modifying their SanDisk Cruzer Enterprise secure USB Flash Drives anyway. Besides, we have been seeing a lot of USB drives coming out with modified looks and features so why not make one for the federal government.

The new design was tested and certified under Military Standard 810-F environmental standards and also ideal for the visually impaired thanks to the adherence for Section 508 requirements.

The Military Standard 810-F environmental standards obviously tackles the area of information, an aspect that government employees must safeguard since they normally handle critical information. Waterproofing is one thing that they have added to the drives, a rugged feature we have been seeing in most devices today.

And the Section 508 answers the call to make these USB drives as flexible as possible for the disabled. The law was enacted to eliminate barriers in information technology, to provide new opportunities for people with disabilities as well as to encourage the development of technologies that will help achieve these goals.
