Brainzsquare Releases a Specialized Copy Protected, Secure USB Drive for CAD and Design Files
Brainzsquare announces the release of SECUDRIVE USB CAD, a specialized, copy protected, secure USB solution developed especially for compatibility with design and CAD files, into the market. With other security features embedded into the solution, SECUDRIVE USB CAD is perfect for designers who carry their precious designs with them on the go.
With SECUDRIVE USB CAD, users can safely carry their important designs with them wherever they go. Whether it be on a business trip, a trip to the office, or a public PC center, it provides copy protection not only for document files, but for computer aided design files as well. The copy protection solution is compatible with numerous CAD and design programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, AutoCAD, OrCAD, and more. By adding specific programs to the USB’s copy protection system, important design files cannot be opened by programs other than the ones the user has specified, and cannot be copied, transferred, or saved onto the local PC. This protects the user’s copy rights on their designs and prevents unauthorized people from viewing or leaking the data.
This secure USB solution also features validity settings, Auto-lock, password protection, and print controls with watermark printing. Validity settings allow users to set a time period for the USB to be active and also set a limited number of logins. If the user has to leave the computer for a few minutes, there’s no need to worry there either. With Auto-lock, users can set a specific time a computer can go inactive before the USB automatically logs out of the device. But be aware, data not saved will be lost upon logout. SECUDRIVE USB CAD also comes with password protection. Users will be asked to input a password upon their first login. If the wrong password is entered over ten consecutive times, the data on the USB will be automatically and irreversibly erased. This is to prevent data leakage if the USB drive is ever lost or stolen. Users have a choice of turning off printing completely, which doesn’t allow any file to be printed off of the USB drive, or turn on printing with a customizable watermark.
Users can also login as read-only mode. This prevents files on the USB from being edited or overwritten. With AES 256-bit hardware encryption and an embedded anti-virus vaccination, users can rest assured that their design files are safe from virus infections and malware. Detailed event logs are also provided with information such as date, time, user name, USB serial number, and action taken.
“Conceptual drawings and designs for new product development warrants a high level of confidentiality within a company. Companies, as well as employees today have worried about loss, theft, or leakage of their designs whenever it is taken out on a portable device to show to cooperative partners outside of company grounds. Designers can now carry their precious design files with them on SECUDRIVE USB CAD and not have to worry about the security risks of losing their flash drive, unauthorized copying, or virus infected files. This USB solution gives the users all they need to protect their precious data in a simple and effective way,” said Simon Kang, CEO of Brainzsquare.
