Let’s talk something about USB Security. If I ask someone what is security? I would probably get the answer that it is a state of being free from danger or injury like we support the armed services in the name of National Security. But when it comes to protecting your USB flash drive, what would you do in order to achieve total USB security?

Some people prefer password protecting while other prefer encryption option. Although there are all sorts of encryption options available for USB devices, but many of them require administrator rights on the host PC and their security varies greatly. Therefore, many people prefer password protecting their USB flash drive rather than encrypting it.

Year 2009 has been a year where the convenient USB flash drives have been charged for data loss due to the increased incidences of misplaced and lost flash drives. The dilemma is that USB flash drives are convenient but relatively less secure than other media, even then there has been a positive approach towards USB flash drives.
