F-Secure's cybersecurity experts, after spending several decades working on antivirus software, have launched a hardware product like a regular USB stick.
The little one in the picture above could be one of the most secure computers in the world. It's called the USB Armory MK II and, in addition to its surprisingly small size, it's very capable. You can't connect it to a monitor, but in contact with a traditional PC or Mac, it works wonders for the security of your sensitive data.
USB Armory MK II from F-Secure can be used for a variety of operations and applications. It can be your new ultra-secure digital wallet in which to keep your cryptocurrencies like BitCoin or it can facilitate secure authentication on certain online platforms. Its creators are convinced that the level of security it provides is unbeatable.
The F-Secure Foundry team developed this device in response to security issues that arise when hardware is interleaved with firmware. As a result, the device is a state-of-the-art complement to software, firmware and hardware, while providing a wide variety of security features and significant computing power in the smallest possible format, ”F-Secure officials explained in -a press release.
The computer USB stick uses a combination of hardware and software to protect your private data, and this is the most important feature. For this reason, F-Secure recommends it to users whose activity revolves around sensitive data, whose security is fundamental. The best example is a digital wallet for cryptocurrencies, but it can help you in other situations as well.
Another advantage of F-Secure's USB Armory MK II is its use of an open source ecosystem. This means that it can be constantly updated and adapted to user requirements. Thus, if there is something he cannot do at this time, he has a good chance of learning that in the future.
