iStorage/Kanguru is proud to exhibit at WEST 2026, the premier naval conference, taking place February 10–12, 2026, at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, California. This prestigious event brings together leaders and innovators to explore the latest platforms, cutting-edge technologies, and advanced capabilities essential to supporting modern maritime operations.
WEST 2026 will host senior leaders from the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, and U.S. Coast Guard, alongside experts from industry and academia. Attendees will engage in critical discussions around data security, evolving threat landscapes, and operational readiness—while forging connections and identifying solutions to today’s most pressing challenges.
Visit iStorage/Kanguru at Booth #1506, where attendees can meet:
- Nate Cote, Kanguru Chief Growth Officer and Managing Director for the Americas
- Andrew Willdig, newly appointed CEO of iStorage
- JP Marinho, Kanguru Channel Manager
Andrew Willdig assumes the CEO role following the retirement of longtime iStorage CEO John Michael at the end of January 2026.
On display at Booth #1506 will be Kanguru’s innovative FIPS-Certified/TAA compliant data security solutions alongside iStorage’s new PIN-protected secure storage products. In September 2024, iStorage, a UK-based data security leader, acquired Kanguru to expand its PIN-protected device portfolio into the U.S. market. Together, iStorage and Kanguru now offer a powerful, unified approach to secure data storage and regulatory compliance.
The combined strength of iStorage and Kanguru delivers a mission-ready data security portfolio engineered to meet U.S. Department of Defense requirements, including:
-
FIPS 140-2 and FIPS 140-3 certified, hardware-encrypted drives for protecting sensitive mission data

Centralized remote device management enabling secure provisioning, monitoring, and control of devices across distributed and deployed environments
-
Integrated risk management capabilities designed to reduce data exposure, enforce policy, and support cybersecurity resilience
