Mobiu USB data key targets mobile staff who need access to sensitive files while out of the office…

One key aspect of IT risk within an organisation is the accidental loss or theft of sensitive company data is a growing problem as staff spend more time working out of the office.

It’s all too easy to lose a thumb drive full of confidential information or unintentionally leave copies of work files on an internet cafe PC when checking emails on the road.

A USB-enabled product soon to launch into the New Zealand market, the Mobiu Smart Key, aims to solve these problems by keeping thumb drive data password protected and eliminating the “digital footprint” usually left behind after using a public computer.

Data stored on the key’s 1 gigabyte memory can only be accessed using a password and is backed up online.

Documents stored on the key can be edited and emailed by plugging it into a USB connection on any computer, without transferring any data onto the PC or laptop being used.

With a SIM card integrated into the USB stick, Mobiu uses two-factor authentication to facilitate its secure remote desktop access, safe file transfer, sharing and storage functions.

IT distributor Excelerate Business Solutions has procured the Australasian rights to resell Mobiu solutions in the local market and plans to begin offering the product to New Zealand customers in early 2010.
