IronKey thumbdrives are good but expensive. I think $80 for 1 GB. They are password protected and will destroy themselves if the password is typed in wrong 10 times.

I second that. Truecrypt is a great product. Easy to work with.

We also like IronKey drives, which are great, but pricey. If you don't need all the built-in features of IronKey, I'm recommending TrueCrypt (www.truecrypt.org). Its free, flexible and very user-friendly. Once we place it on a drive, all the user has to do is plug it in and enter their password when prompted. After that, their secure volume appears to them just like a normal drive. When the drive is removed from the PC, it is fully encrypted and protected. It will work with pretty much any removable drive. ~Jeff Jeff Durfee Director, IT Security Univ. of North Florida jdurfee () unf edu Voice (904) 620-2820 **************************************************************************** ******* From: The EDUCAUSE Security Constituent Group Listserv on behalf of David Grisham Sent: Mon 10/19/2009 6:50 PM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: Re: [SECURITY] Recommendation of a good secure Flash drive? We are looking IronKey for flash drives. But we really need a broader solution. Has anyone implemented an endpoint encryption product that covers the scope of NIST 800-111? Health Care entities are going to be trying to implement encryption on flash drives, laptops, CDs, DVDs, etc. in a way that doesn't bring down our ability to provide patient care. Cheers.-grish

I really like the ironkey line. Cross platform support, a read only mode, and autorun.inf checking are key features.
