The KRMC-Hosted upgrade represents a significant leap forward in remote management security,” says Matthew Buckley, Product Manager at Kanguru. “We’ve focused on enhancing user experience and expanding functionality to ensure our platform meets the highest standards of data protection and operational efficiency.”
KRMC-Hosted allows organizations to efficiently manage a global fleet of AES 256-bit hardware-encrypted drives. Its new multi-tiered structure offers unparalleled flexibility and cost-effective security solutions for businesses of all sizes. KRMC-Hosted delivers comprehensive solutions that cater to diverse security requirements, certifications, and budget constraints, making it an ideal choice for maintaining robust data security.
Key enhancements in the KRMC-Hosted interface include:
Enhanced Security Actions
KRMC-Hosted introduces new security actions designed to protect against critical events:
- Event-Based Ejects and Time Actions: This setting can automatically lock drives after a certain amount of time when a user logs out or the system enters sleep mode, based on parameters set by the Security Officer. This feature is particularly beneficial for Administrators managing drives used by contractors or temporary employees, ensuring data security within a defined time frame.
- Application Launcher: Allows Administrators to include and manage executable files on company drives for streamlined business operations. Running applications on drive startup provides convenience and greater efficiency.
- Group Control: Tailored security measures for users with higher requirements, such as enforcing stronger passwords for IT personnel or activating antivirus protection for Finance departments. Diverse needs met for any department or team without affecting the rest of the drives.

Advanced File Auditing and Reporting
- Comprehensive Monitoring:Â Track file changes with detailed path reviews, receive separate event reports for larger file sizes and executables, and export drive file details for auditing.
Powerful Integrations
KRMC-Hosted now supports remote management of KRMC Authentication through SAML, OKTA, Azure, and Active Directory Federation Services. Active Directory integration enables automatic disabling of drives when a user account is deactivated, reducing the need to frantically locate remote USB devices and minimizing data theft risks. Additionally, SIEM connections provide IT-wide monitoring of KRMC events, ensuring thorough oversight. Administrators can configure these actions to occur within a specified timeframe, enhancing security and control.
Other enhancements include:
- Streamlined Search Bar: Quick and intuitive access to devices, users, or actions.
- Seamless Mobile Support: Fully integrated, user-friendly mobile experience.
- Customizable Data Formats: Themed and personalized data views.
- Flexible Sorting Preferences: Options for List or Bubble views, and Light/Dark themes.
- Innovative Management Features: Enhanced control and oversight capabilities.
Looking ahead, Kanguru plans to further strengthen KRMC with upcoming integrations, including CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment) policies, which automate and streamline the development, testing, and deployment of software. These policies are designed to enhance security measures for highly security-conscious organizations by ensuring faster and more reliable updates. Additionally, future updates will introduce internal device control alongside exceptional external device management, ensuring KRMC remains at the forefront of secure remote management solutions.
