https://www.techpowerup.com/244238/kingston-encrypted-usb-drives-are-key-component-of-impending-gdpr-complianceKingston, the Flash memory affiliate of Kingston Technology Company, a leader in memory products, has been at the forefront of how the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) cybersecurity regulations effective this month will affect anyone who processes data of European Union residents. Major corporations and global organizations are reacting to the security threat of removable storage by banning them without realizing the problems this creates. Instead, the use of encrypted USB Flash drives – such as Kingston’s IronKey and DataTraveler models – along with having standards, policies and guidelines for the use of encrypted USB storage devices are essential elements in promoting cybersecurity, maintaining workforce productivity and compliance with GDPR.

Yes for those of us outside of the EU this has been a barrage of email updates and boxes we need to tick, but for Europeans this is a major change in how they do business. The EU GDPR, to be fully implemented this month, seeks to strengthen data-protection rights for individuals within the EU. It aims to future-proof data protection in the EU and to non-EU organizations, which process data of EU residents. In case of a data breach, organizations will face fines of up to 4 percent of their annual global revenue or 20 million euros (whichever is greater) and must inform their national supervisory authority.
