Portable memory devices such as flash drives are extremely vulnerable to security risks. It is easy for all of the digital files stored on flash drives to fall into the wrong hands. To guarantee complete security of digital information, it is important to secure a flash drive with either a software or hardware method. There are software programs which allow users to set passwords when trying to access the files on a flash drive. There are also specialized mini combination locks which could be used to secure these devices.
