Discuss the demand for encrypted flash drives in the enterprise/corporate segment among key verticals?

As the digital world is evolving, it is clear that protecting your data should be a priority. Having a strong password just isn’t enough, there needs to be extra steps in place to ensure that all areas of potential risk are covered. A combination of password protection, and encryption are the best way to do this.

Your data can include your credit card information, phone number, passwords, and cryptocurrency. For businesses, there is also the severe threat of losing sensitive data, such as your intellectual property, confidential information on your employees and customers, customer databases etc. This can lead to adverse publicity, loss of trust, job losses, hefty fines, and the potential downfall of a business. iStorage products help you comply with data protection regulations such as GDPR, HIPPAA, as well as protect your data in the most secure way possible.
