Overview

The Cruzer® Enterprise series of USB flash drives are equipped with a hardware-based encryption module and an access control mechanism to protect company data. SanDisk has recently identified a potential vulnerability in the access control mechanism and has provided a product update to address the issue.

Important Note: This issue is only applicable to the application running on the host and does not apply to the device hardware or firmware.

As a result, all Cruzer Enterprise USB flash drives being shipped to customers as of today contain the product update. SanDisk has also taken measures to inform customers and channel partners about the issue and has provided a software product update online to secure existing Cruzer Enterprise USB flash drive devices.
