Protect even more than just your data. Protect your network and infrastructure as well from malware tampering with built-in RSA-2048, Digitally-Signed Secure Firmware. Designed in compliance with NIST's requirements for securing device firmware, this drive is protected from "badUSB" to prevent malware attacks by a third-party. In the event of such an attack, the drive is designed to shut down, preventing the flash drive from being used as a vehicle for hackers. This makes it an ideal, trusted encrypted USB drive for whitelisting in an endpoint security environment.

The Defender Elite30™ secure USB flash drive puts the "flash" back in "flash drive" with SuperSpeed USB 3.0 (USB 3.2 Gen 1x1) maximum performance data transfer speeds of up to 300MB per second and max write speeds of up to 200MB per second depending on capacity. With speeds like this, data transfers will be done in a flash!

Every Kanguru Defender Elite30 secure USB flash drive comes with integrated on-board anti-virus by Award-Winning Bitdefender (30-day FREE trial)(1).  Built right into the drive itself, the anti-virus consistently scans the drive in the background, ensuring that all of your files will be safe and protected from viruses, malware or spyware.
