TechTree: Trek 2000 International Limited (Trek) has introduced its Chez Solution (Chez) for ThumbDrive flash drives.

As such, a Chez-enabled Trek ThumbDrive flash drive will be successful in blocking access to data stored on the computer, or on the flash drive by unauthorized users.

According to Trek, Chez has been developed in response to the increasing demand for data encryption capabilities to be incorporated within removable storage devices like ThumbDrive flash drives.

Presently, there are security-enabled ThumbDrive flash drives on the market, and they all incorporate Biometric and AES security features. However, Trek says their Chez-enabled ThumbDrive flash drives take these very features to the next new level.
