USB Memory Stick Security USB flash drives are also a convenient format for the distribution of sensitive data such as: Legal documents Sensitive internal company data Copyright controlled information Sensitive research documents The files can be secured through encryption using security software such as Truecrypt or similar, and the key for decryption of the data communicated through another means as an added level of security.
Where the files contained are particularly sensitive, the USB drive can be concealed as it can be moulded into just about any form such as a pen or a torch. Even a large capacity memory stick can be contained on a very small PCB, so hiding the drive in a place known only to the intended recipient is a good option.
