Through the above multiple password options, when the password is lost, the administrator can reset the user password, or use the one-time recovery password function to restore data access rights; and the password content can use 0-64 characters including spaces Yuan’s PIN, strings, and even lyrics for easy memorization.
In addition, VP50 also has a mechanism to prevent brute force cracking. In the user and one-time recovery password mode, if the wrong password is entered 10 times in a row, it will be automatically locked; in the administrator mode, if the wrong password is entered 10 times in a row, the data on the hard disk will be encrypted and erased, so there is no need to Worry about the data leakage breach caused by the loss of the hard disk. The VP50 can also enable read-only mode on the user and administrator side, applying write protection settings to resist malware attacks. In addition, the built-in virtual keyboard also enhances security and prevents password theft by keyboard or screen loggers.
In order to comply with the company’s IT policy and network security needs, enterprises can also set a product ID (PID) through Kingston’s customized solution, and integrate with endpoint management software to meet enterprise IT and network security needs. Small and medium-sized enterprises can effectively control their flash drive data locally through the administrator role; for example: use administrator mode to configure or reset employee user permissions, execute one-time recovery passwords, and recover from locked flash drives Data access rights, or necessary data identification in compliance with regulatory requirements, etc., combine security, compliance and high integration, making IT management easier.
