Locking down your computer
It’s all about security these days when important personal information resides on your computer hard drive. Short of sticking your computer in a safe, there are easier means to achieving a ‘hardware’ solution to locking your personal information down. That’s where the Edgetech Corp. DiskGO Guardian comes in.
The DiskGo Guardian exceeds government standards for encryption by utilizing mandatory 256-bit AES hardware encryption. The flash drive comes encased in a very tough anodized-aluminum housing. It can stand up to the wear and tear of the elements according to its manufacturer.
The Guardian requires the use of a complex password and will erase data after eight failed password attempts. It includes an unencrypted area for storing contact information in case it is lost. The Guardian features very fast read/write speeds.
One interesting fact about the manufacturer is that the founder, Jeff Thompson, started the company when he was only 14 with money saved from his paper-route. That was twenty-two years ago. Now that’s what I call an American success story.
