Dubai, UAE – 3 March 2025: Kingston Technology Europe Co LLP, an affiliate of Kingston Technology
Company Inc., a world leader in memory products and technology solutions, announces its commitment
to safeguarding critical data in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region with its latest portfolio of
encrypted USB storage solutions. In an era marked by escalating cyber threats from data breaches and
ransomware to phishing attacks, businesses, governments, and professionals across MENA face a
heightened need to protect sensitive information and comply with emerging data privacy regulations.
Cybersecurity frameworks across the region are being strengthened, making secure data storage a
necessity for both personal and professional data handling. Frequent cross-border travel by business
executives and government officials further underscores the importance of robust encryption to protect
against unauthorized access. In this evolving threat landscape, Kingston’s IronKey Locker+ 50 USB flash
drives deliver advanced hardware-based encryption, user-friendly multi-password support, and crypto-
erase functionality to meet a wide array of security demands. As the EU’s NIS2 Directive and DORA
regulations intensify data protection and cybersecurity mandates, Kingston’s IronKey Locker+ 50 USB flash
drives offer a secure, compliant solution for MENA businesses, governments, and professionals navigating
evolving regulatory landscapes.
Kingston’s IronKey Locker+ 50 stands out by offering AES 256-bit XTS mode encryption and integrated
protection against brute force attacks and BadUSB threats. Additionally, the drive’s virtual keyboard
feature helps prevent keylogging, while its USB-to-Cloud backup integration supports popular platforms
such as Google Drive™, OneDrive®, and Dropbox™. TAA compliance ensures suitability for government and
enterprise environments that require certified security solutions. Built with a rugged metal casing and a
convenient key loop, the drive is designed for portability and durability, matching the mobility needs of
modern professionals.
“As data breaches and cyber threats become more sophisticated, the need for robust, encrypted storage
grows exponentially,” said Khalil Yazbeck, Business Development Manager – UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, and
Oman, Kingston Technology. “Kingston’s IronKey Locker+ 50 USB flash drives offer MENA businesses,
governments, and individuals a formidable layer of protection. Our commitment is to deliver secure,
innovative solutions that align with the region’s evolving cybersecurity landscape and help users
