With fingerprint security
Gadget: SecureStix 2GB
What it is
A fold-out USB drive with inbuilt fingerprint recognition - in other words, an effective way to keep classified files safe and secure.
Why you need it
It is peace of mind in a stick - it allows a user to save up to 2GB of information and lock it all up behind their individual fingerprint, with encryption rendering the files untouchable by anyone excluding the owner. The SecureStix 2GB also comes with software that protects the user's entire computer through a secure windows login feature. Additionally, the slimline SecureStix 2GB suits a corporate identity and comes with a USB cable as well as a detachable carry strap for added convenience.

What's particularly cool about it
It can store up to 10 fingerprints, which means that it not only provides a contingency plan if one finger can't be scanned but also offers the option of several people having access. This, in effect, makes it ideal for brokers who would like to share information with a select group of people.
