I'm surprised they didn't name this Fort Knox due to its seemingly impenetrable nature. There are three layers of protection provided by this flash drive: a steel cable makes sure no one walks off with your drive, a combination lock ensures the entire stick remains safe inside, and a data encryption function digitally guards your data. Not so much Bond as Houdini in my opinion.
Implications - In contemporary society, issues concerning security are at the forefront of many buyers' minds.
