Yoggie launches new breed of secure USB flash drive

Yoggie Data Keeper™ boasts range of unique security features and delivers advanced user options

June 30, 2009, Beth Halevy, Israel. Yoggie Security Systems™ today announced the launch of the Yoggie Data Keeper™ line of secure USB Flash Drives (UFD).  With its host of unique and high end security features such as a built-in anti-virus scanner, online firmware updates and multiple password capability, the Yoggie Data Keeper protects users from a host of cyber threats when transferring data to and from a computer that may not be secure.

Until now, portable storage devices have often acted as a back door for virus and malware transfer, however, the Data Keeper Pro’s built-in Anti-Virus software automatically scans files copied in/out of the Data Keeper Pro in real-time. Users are protected without having to instruct their host computer’s security suite to scan files prior to transfer.  In addition, the virus signature database is automatically updated without slowing the host laptop or PC and an on-demand scan feature allows users to scan and clean any drive or folder on the host computer.

As the first ever Secure USB Flash drive that provides more than one password, the Data Keeper Pro supports two distinct user passwords and file permission access control. Users can grant full or guest access to another user and thus protect any files they wish to keep private which in turn means there is much greater flexibility in who can use the device.

Shlomo Touboul, Founder and CEO of Yoggie Security Systems™ commented, "Most USB-based storage devices are focused solely on capacity despite the fact that just about anything related to transfer or storage of data is at risk.  The Data Keeper takes UFDs to the next level by integrating security with the device in a way that protects users without the need for user action or technical know-how. In doing so, it closes the gaping hole in the portable data storage market without compromising the speed and convenience that users expect from a USB storage device.”

With 2 or 4 GB of storage and 256-bit AES hardware based encryption, the Yoggie Data Keeper will be available in three models:

• Yoggie Data Keeper™ – Yoggie’s core Secure UFD, complete with a unique online firmware update capability.
• Yoggie Data Keeper Pro™ – An advanced Secure UFD with additional built-in security features such as Anti-Virus, multiple passwords etc.
• Yoggie Data Keeper Personal Ed.™ – Yoggie’s hardware-based Secure UFD with a unique online firmware update capability as well as both secure and non-secure partitions. Designed and priced for consumers.

Anyone wishing to purchase a Yoggie Data Keeper™ can pre-order now via the Yoggie.com e-store for a special offer price.  The product will begin shipping August 1^st, 2009.

The Yoggie Data Keeper™ is the latest innovation from the company behind the popular Gatekeeper Pico™ and Gatekeeper Card™– a miniaturized computer in both USB dongle and ExpressCard form that plug into any laptop, PC or Mac and runs a suite of 13 security applications including several patented programs.
