SanDisk to offer USB flash drive security solution

Like mice slowly eating away at the foundation of a house, tiny USB flash drives can pose a serious threat to the security of your network. Think about it: users carry them around, plug them into insecure computers at home and then mount them on their desktops at work. Users love flash drives, there's not much you can do to stop them from carrying them and they're a disaster waiting to happen. Enter flash memory vendor SanDisk, which is expected to unveil what the company refers to as "a comprehensive solution for the enterprise security market, providing protection and control for USB flash drives." While the company has yet to reveal anything else, it has said that a full announcement will be made at the RSA conference in San Fransisco. Many are expecting a repackaged version of the mTrust suite of applications, which SanDisk acquired last year with its purchase of mSystems.
