Protect even more than just your data. Protect your network and infrastructure as well from malware tampering with built-in RSA-2048, Digitally-Signed Secure Firmware. Designed in compliance with NIST’s requirements for securing device firmware, this drive is protected from “badUSB” to prevent malware attacks by a third-party. In the event of such an attack, the drive is designed to shut down, preventing the flash drive from being used as a vehicle for hackers. This makes it an ideal, trusted encrypted USB drive for whitelisting in an endpoint security environment.
The Defender Elite30™ secure USB flash drive puts the “flash” back in “flash drive” with SuperSpeed USB 3.0 (USB 3.2 Gen 1×1) maximum performance data transfer speeds of up to 300MB per second and max write speeds of up to 200MB per second depending on capacity. With speeds like this, data transfers will be done in a flash!
Every Kanguru Defender Elite30 secure USB flash drive comes with integrated on-board anti-virus by Award-Winning Bitdefender (30-day FREE trial). Built right into the drive itself, the anti-virus consistently scans the drive in the background, ensuring that all of your files will be safe and protected from viruses, malware or spyware.
The Kanguru Remote Management Console™ (KRMC)™ is Kanguru’s exclusive, fully-integrated remote management platform for managing Defender encrypted drives. This robust, optional feature provides IT Administrators, Security Officers, and Managers the ability to control, manage, and enforce security policies for an entire fleet of Defender hardware-encrypted USB drive(s) in the workforce anywhere in the world.
In August 2024, Kanguru enhanced the KRMC platform with a full rebrand: KRMC-Hosted. Built on the robust foundation of the existing KRMC interface, along with a new intuitive user experience and additional features, KRMC-Hosted is a ground-breaking solution for protecting data.

If you’ve ever forgotten your password, you know how upsetting it can be to not be able to access your data. With Kanguru Self-Service Password Management, you won’t have to worry about it. Learn more about Self-Service Password Management.
The Kanguru Defender Elite30 encrypted flash drive uses built-in brute-force protection with a rugged alloy casing and a water-resistant epoxy compound containing the cryptographic controller which prevents physical access. Any subversive attempt to remove the epoxy compound destroys the flash chip, rendering it unusable and inaccessible. The drive is waterproof making it an ideal option for tough environments.
This drive comes with a physical write protect switch, a handy feature for Kanguru flash drives that provides ideal benefits for IT professionals and users alike. Learn more about the Kanguru Physical Write Protect Switch.
