The Kanguru Defender 3000™ is the fastest, most advanced, secure, military-grade, hardware encrypted, remotely manageable flash drive in the world. Designed to address the most demanding encryption standards, this Superspeed USB 3.0, FIPS 140-2 Certified, AES 256-bit hardware encrypted flash drive is ideal for keeping sensitive government, financial or corporate information highly secure. Now available with up to 512GB capacity*, store enormous amounts of information under the best data encryption available.
Combining high-level security with ultra-fast USB 3.0 (USB 3.2 Gen 1X1) speed and FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certification, this is one impressive secure flash drive. It includes robust antivirus by Award-Winning Bitdefender®, and tamper-resistant protection, as well as remote management capabilities and TAA Compliance for the most comprehensive data protection solution available in a hardware-encrypted flash drive.
Furthermore, all Kanguru Defender® secure FIPS 140-2 flash drives are fully protected from the potential risks associated with"BadUSB" with digitally-signed, secure firmware. The secure memory stick proves unequivocally that it meets and surpasses the most stringent federal, healthcare and financial industry security regulations in the world.
This secure flash drive is FIPS 140-2 Certified, Level 3, a high-level certification that helps organizations meet and exceed the high demands of security regulations and standards. Meet the most stringent federal, healthcare and financial industry security regulations, including GDPR, HIPAA, Sarbanes Oxley, GLBA, and more. As a FIPS 140-2 secure flash drive, you can be assured the Defender 3000 hardware encrypted usb is of the highest-level, military-grade data security.
FIPS 140-2 is a joint Certification program between NIST (National Institute of Standards) in the United States, andCSE (Communications Security Establishment) in Canada. It provides government guidelines regarding the security evaluation for cryptographic modules. Kanguru Solutions demonstrates that by meeting the level 3 threshold of FIPS 140-2, the Defender 3000 has strong, tamper evident protections in place to prevent unauthorized access, attack, or brute force attempts to gain access to the sensitive data.
The Kanguru Defender 3000 encrypted flash drive uses built-in brute-force protection with a rugged alloy casing and a water-resistant epoxy compound containing the cryptographic controller which prevents physical access. Any subversive attempt to remove the epoxy compound destroys the flash chip, rendering it unusable and inaccessible. The drive is waterproof making it an ideal option for tough environments.
The Kanguru Defender 3000 secure thumb drive uses FIPS 197 Certified AES 256-bit Hardware encryption (XTS-Mode) to secure data contents stored on the USB drive. Since the cryptographic processes are all done in hardware, there is virtually no performance impact when transferring data, unlike the severe performance impact when using software encryption programs. XTS-mode also provides enhanced protection when used to encrypt large blocks of data (as in GB’s) as it eliminates certain vulnerabilities and patterns which might be exploited in earlier symmetric key implementations. In addition, the password matching and other security operations are all done in the secure confines of the tamper-resistant, epoxy encapsulated cryptographic processor. In short, your data can not be compromised.
Kanguru Defender encrypted USB drives are easy to use, now more than ever with the new built-in Command Console. View and access all of your drive settings and information at a glance, along with remaining space available on the drive, AntiVirus and KRMC subscription information, onboard applications and much more.
As the Command Center for your encrypted drive, the Command Console is a convenient way to quickly view and access information about your drive:

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.
