Fujitsu Develops Secure USB Memory Device Featuring Automatic Data-Erase Function

Kawasaki, Japan and Sunnyvale, CA, April 17, 2009 – Fujitsu Laboratories Limited, Fujitsu Laboratories of America, Inc. today announced the development of two new technologies designed to prevent the unwanted disclosure of data from lost universal serial bus (USB) memory devices and prevent uploads to file-sharing networks: a USB memory device technology that after a fixed period of time automatically erases data stored on the USB memory, and a file redirect technology(1) which ensures that the data from the USB memory device can only be stored on a specified server. This creates a secure environment that protects confidential information and allows USB memory devices to be used as a convenient way to safely carry customer data back to one's own company to manage the data.
