The stick features an onboard, non-bypassable Intel security chip which encrypts all data copied to and from the device, to Government and FIPS certified AES 256bit.

Encryption is totally transparent and requires no software installed anywhere.  Simply plug it in, enter your strong user definable password and starting using it.

SafeStick provides 100% FULL encryption.  All files, folders and sectors are encrypted automatically - nothing is left to chance or user error.

For managing ten, to hundreds of thousands of SafeSticks in a Corporate environment, a full management and reporting console called "SafeConsole" is also available which hooks directly into Active Directory.  More info below.

Unless your data is encrypted it is incredibly simple for anyone to view, remove and share ANY of the data that was stored on it. 

There have been many high profile, embarrassing instances recently where company employee details, patient details, bank details, customer databases, credit card details and other confidential information has been retrieved in this way and either distributed or used for criminal purposes.

If your company does not lock down removable drive access, and insist on data being stored on an encrypted devices they are running a huge security risk.

SafeConsole allows you to manage hundreds of thousands of SafeSticks wherever they may be in the world.

SafeConsole provides full Windows Active Directory integration, management, assigning of different policies depending on AD membership, remote reset of passwords, auditing, data shadowing, reporting, disabling, wiping of sticks and more.

Also several other "high profile" units have also been cracked.  for example the McAfee MXI stick has been cracked, as has the Secustick.

Softek's own testing has produced some interesting results.  SafeStick has proven to withstand:

• Repeated rolling over by a 2500lb V8 Range Rover.
• A full washing machine cycle at 90%
• 30 seconds of acetylene blow torch
• Repeated hits with a 2lb lump hammer
• 30 seconds of red-hot angle grinder sparks
• A whack with a 10lb sledge hammer!

Videos are available from this website or Youtube.

Yes, this is unique to SafeStick.  Using the system tray icon you can lock access to the device instantly, or you can set a timeout period - just in case you forget and leave it inserted into a PC. 

You can also configure this policy via SafeConsole.

We have a full range of Technical Knowledgebase articles available here.

With a FlashID factory installed on a SafeStick (users cant change or delete it!) SafeStick becomes a full authentication token which can be used to authenticate users against Outlook Web Access, VPN, Websites, Citrix and more.

By providing your users with a FlashID token, you can require users to enter their username, password, PLUS a one-time password which can only be generated by their own FlashID token.

A Deepnet Authentication Server installation (which manages the back-end tokens, secured applications and users) is required before you can deploy and use SafeStick FlashID. Deepnet authentication is quick, easy to setup and very cost effective to deploy.  Information on Deepnet FlashID can be found here.

SafeConsole is required to deploy and manage FlashID.

Otherwise please watch the SafeStick FlashID demo.

If the password is forgotten then there are two options. 

• The stick can be reset, which permanently wipes all the data
• Using the optional Enterprise Management Software (SafeConsole) a company IT Department can use challenge / response to reset the password as required and as pocily dictates.

• Small
• Custom passwords.
• Minimum password length / requires strong passwords.
• Zero footprint on the PC
• Secure PKI recovery
• Fast hardware encryption
• Unique key generated for each unit
• Use as an Authentication token (Deepnet FlashID)
• Brute force protection
• Tampersafe electronics
• Timer / Userlock
• Central management
• Reminder if left in computer
• No Admin rights required
• Works with all Endpoint Security solutions such as DeviceLock to prevent data leakage

* Native support for MacOSX in under development - and it actually requires Apple to fix their USB implementation.  However a workaround is available.

* Native support for various Linux implementations is also under development.
