• FiST works in a kiosk-like fashion. A user inserts a suspect USB drive or other media into FiST where it is scanned, cleaned, and made ready for use in USG systems and networks. It is designed to be extremely user friendly with very limited administration required. 3. What happens to infected or unrecognized files identified by FiST? • Files with unrecognized formats will be removed by FiST. A list of supported formats is included in the data sheet. • Recognized files that contain malicious code will be atomized, cleansed, and re-assembled for safe use. 4. Does FiST work with encrypted USB devices? • FiST currently supports MXI and IronKey Enterprise, Personal, and Basic versions for source (“dirty” files) and destination (“sanitized” files). • Other encrypted USB devices will be supported in the future. 5. What happens to my password protected files like a DOC or a ZIP? • FiST does not currently support password protected files. These files are removed during the sanitization proces
