According to the company, the new Sandisk Cruzer Enterprise which managed by SanDisk’s Central Management and Control (CMC) server software will have the RSA SecurID software tokens built in.

“This is an ideal solution for employees who need to travel light and yet be fully connected, as well as for IT departments concerned with data security and regulatory compliance challenges,” said Roy Ramati, Vice President and General Manager of the Enterprise Division at SanDisk. “Adding RSA SecurID to our management and security solutions for the enterprise is a major step forward in our mission: providing IT professionals with tools to enhance employee productivity through mobility and remote connectivity.”
