Introducing McAfee Encrypted USB
Devices
McAfee Encrypted USB Devices are USB (Universal Serial Bus) portable drives that
provide different types of security and data encryption. You can personalize and
manage a device using McAfee Encrypted USB—Standalone software (referred to as
Encrypted USB throughout the rest of the document). Encrypted USB provides step-by-
step instructions to help you set up your device and start using it.
For large deployments of McAfee Encrypted USB Devices, use McAfee Encrypted USB
Manager—a scalable software solution that lets you control devices throughout their life
cycle, from personalization through to delivery to end users and eventual recycling. For
more information about McAfee Encrypted USB Manager, contact McAfee.
