Smart Keeper CompactFlash Port Lock

While photographers and filmmakers are possibly the most experienced with CompactFlash memory cards, owing to the widespread use of CF memory for digital cameras, the fact is that CompactFlash cards are used to enhance capacity in a variety of devices, making them a little-known component in many digital networks and information systems. CompactFlash cards have been with us for more than a quarter-century, having been specified and manufactured first in 1994. It’s hard to think of a more-enduring format or device in the fast and ongoing evolution of digital technology.

Why so popular and enduring? Like many memory systems, including the smaller SD-format card, the CF card uses the File Allocation Table (FAT) system, yet its larger size gives it an edge in capacity and speed. So, as computing capacities grew, the CompactFlash cards just kept working. As a result, they are very likely on the job at key locations in your system.

That means that the ports that accommodate the CF card could be waiting quietly in your information system to be hijacked by anyone from intentional saboteurs to unwitting associates. They’re as easy to penetrate as USB thumb drives, and yet most Cyber Discipline Plans overlook or ignore the exposure the CF port represents.
