RE: USB Flash Drives

[<Antti.Laatikainen () santen fi>]

Hi!

One important thing to keep in mind is that many of these
solutions require admin rights to the computer to work-
Or if not that, they require some additional software to
be installed on the computer prior to work.

There are good, strong solutions like Kingston Vault sticks that
don't need any users right or programs to be installed. They handle
the encryption using built-in hardware on the stick.

One solution (in AD environment) would be to use the Bitlocker to go.
It's cheap, gets the job done and you have nice set of features that you
can configure using GPO's, like  "Deny Write Access to Removable Drives Not 
Protected By BitLocker"
