RSA Security Cruzer manual Solution

More and more employees use personal USB flash drives inside – and outside – the office to access, store and transport confidential data belonging to financial service companies, government agencies and other organizations. The resulting fear of data leakage through loss, theft or careless use of these drives is dramati- cally on the rise. The onus is on IT departments to enable employees to extend their productivity by using secure flash drives while providing secure two-factor authentication and remote access that meets both security and regulatory chal- lenges. In addition, IT departments are being faced with the challenge of centrally managing the USB flash drives inside and outside their workplace environments.

The Solution

Achieving secure remote access and authentication has, until now, required one device, while providing secure storage required another. Now, however, based on the partnership between RSA, the Security Division of EMC, and SanDisk®, two-factor authentication and secure storage are available on a single, company-issued USB flash drive. This is ideal for employees who want to travel light and yet be fully connected, as well as for IT departments concerned with data security and regulatory compliance challenges.

The RSA® SecurID software token is integrated with the SanDisk® Cruzer® Enterprise USB flash drive, enabling strong authentication to network resources while offering users the native security and high performance of the SanDisk Cruzer Enterprise. This drive is managed and controlled by IT departments with SanDisk central management and control (CMC) software to provide continuous enforcement of company policy, tracking and monitoring activity beyond the corporate network.
