Along with FIPS 140-2 certified AES 256-bit hardware encryption and on-board anti-virus, the physical write protect switch provides additional security protection, with the ability to quickly and easily toggle between R/W, or read-only protection if so desired. This can be useful in certain conditions where the secure USB flash drive may be used on a computer system that could contain viruses, since read-only mode makes it virtually impossible for a virus to infect the flash drive.

Remote management for Defender secure USB drives
Remote Management for secure USB drives is a optional feature sold separately, and is a way for security teams to manage a fleet of secure USB thumb drives and secure external HDDs for their organization. Administrators can configure Defender secure USB pen drives and distribute to staff for confidential organizational use. Then using the Kanguru Remote Management Console (KRMC), restrictions can be made for where the pen drives can or cannot be used with online or offline permissions, password changes can be scheduled and strengthened, users can be notified, and custom security policies can be automatically implemented and enforced. Additionally, if a secure thumb drive was ever lost or stolen, it could be deleted or disabled remotely anywhere in the world.
