If you’ve been reading my posts for a while, you’ll know that one of the topics I return to a lot is the security of industrial equipment and data security...

As I mentioned in a previous post, I popped over to the States to visit Datakey a few weeks ago, and in a little bit of downtime, we headed out to watch a bit of baseball. (Or “the ball game” as the locals called it.) Now, I watch my fair share of sports (I’m a big Liverpool fan), and I’ve…
Self-service is everywhere now, from the tills at Tesco to the gates at Gatwick. And for the most part, it’s made our lives easier, and it’s made completing tasks quicker. But this summer I was reminded of its limitations. We were heading off to Lisbon for a family break, and although I’d checked in online, I still had to use…
I’m currently reading a fantastic business book called “They Ask, You Answer”. (I say ‘reading’, I’m actually listening to it – Audible helps me consume so many more books!) The premise of the book is pretty simple: what questions do the prospective users of your product or service have, and can they find the answers to them? The author’s idea…
Do you know how easily your laptop could be hacked into? You might be thinking that you’ve got a pretty good password, so you should be okay, but according to this article, that’s a long way from the case. The new trend of USB-C charging cables for laptops is highly convenient, but as the article by Dave Lee shows, it…
I hope you’ve had a fantastic weekend and a good start to the week? Mine was mainly spent unpacking bags after a wonderful family holiday in Devon – thankfully we got the most of the heat before the heavens opened! Anyway, I write with exciting news: Datakey are in with a fantastic chance of winning an award. As you probably…

We have done for the last 30 years, for the simple reason that we know they’re the best and we know how much value they add to our customers Anyway, every once in a while Datakey put together a short blog, highlighting something useful or interesting within the world of secure data…
If you didn’t know, we’re now able to offer Datakey RUGGEDrive™ with both Multi-Level Cell and Single-Level Cell NAND flash. And now that we can do that, we’re getting asked more and more about the key differences between these two options. So I thought I’d write a quick post about it! Before I dive into MLC and SLC is it…
There was an article in The Week that tickled me that I thought I’d share with you. US Astronaut Andrew Feustel is stationed on the International Space Station, and the other day he got the opportunity for an experience of a lifetime: Heading out on his spacewalk. He charged up his GoPro camera, headed out of the station and started…
There was a news article the other day that pricked my attention. It probably would have passed most people by, but with “USB” firmly in the headline, it piqued my interest immediately. It transpires that tech giant IBM have made the decision to ban their staff from using USB sticks, SD cards and other removable memory devices. And it’s happening…
