SafeStick has a major important difference - it features total, automatic, hardware based encryption of all data on the SafeStick - and a Central Enterprise Management Console.

SafeStick's onboard, non-bypassable security processor encrypts all data copied to and from the device - uniqely it has UK Government & Public Sector CESG / CCTM Approval and also features FIPS certified AES 256bit CBC encryption technology.

Encryption is totally transparent and requires no software installed anywhere.  Simply plug it in, enter your strong 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.

SuperSonic has different internal hardware components, which pushes USB 2.0 performance to the absolute limit. Up to 23Mbyte/s for write and 33Mbyte/s for read, providing lightning speed transfers of files.

**NOTE**  SafeStick will be available in a USB 3.0 version shortly!

Current apps include anti-virus, password manager, VPN Client, Skype, Web browsers, IM Client, Word Processor, Spreadsheet, Office tools and more.

SafeConsole is a feature rich web based application that you install in-house, which allows you to manage hundreds of thousands of SafeSticks wherever they may be in the world.

With SafeConsole you can KILL lost sticks, backup data automatically and reset forgotten user passwords.

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

With SafeConsole v4 you can also Backup your users SafeSticks remotely, lock down your PC's to only accepting SafeStick via "Lockout" Port Control, Easyshare (share individual files with a temporary PIN), File Publisher across the WAN and Autorun management.

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.

Unlike other solutions there are NO backdoor or secondary fixed passwords which allow access to SafeStick.  

Password recovery is certificate based and one-time-use passwords are generated as long as procedures are followed.    Password recovery can ONLY happen one time, on one stick that is was generated for.  Codes are NOT replayable / reusable.

This means that you can share individual files, without giving the person your password which would provide full access to the drive.

You must activate, manage and deploy EasyShare for select users via SafeConsole. 

"This represents a welcome first for CCTM to list a certificated USB Flash Drive product", says Peter Hayes, Head of the CCTM Secretariat ISC. "We know there are many parts of the wider public sector where handling data classified below the RESTRICTED level brings uncertainties. It is vital that people are using approved products coupled with appropriate procurement decisions, risk management and strong procedural measures. With SafeStick now carrying the CCTM certificate, part of that now becomes a lot easier", say Hayes.

SafeStick also features FIPS 197 AES certification for the encryption technology. See #825 on the FIPS website.

SafeStick is also currently undergoing full FIPS 140 approval.   While it proves categorically that SafeStick is (at LEAST) as secure as it claims to be, FIPS standards however are actually less rigorous than a standard SafeStick security already is.... You can read an example of this here.   

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

Many other vendors "secure" drives have been hacked - included Sandisk's, Verbatims and other "most secure" FIPS offerings! Read more.

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!

You can also configure this policy via SafeConsole.

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 Windows Logon, Outlook Web Access, VPN, Websites, Citrix and more.

By providing your users with a SafeStick 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.

You can also secure Windows logon by requiring a user has their SafeStick inserted, and the correct password entered before they can logon to Windows / your network!

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 remotely reset the password as required and as pocily dictates.

Please note that you cannot retrospectively recover lost user passwords with SafeConsole.  Therefore it is critical to decide if you wish to be able to recover lost user passwords.  If it is, then you must deploy SafeConsole.
