The IronKey Basic is the world’s most secure USB flash drive. Designed specifically for the needs of sensitive military, government and enterprise networks, and it is extremely easy to deploy and use. IronKey Basic is the core technology platform for the IronKey family of secure storage and authentication products. Always‐On Data Encryption All user data is encrypted with AES hardware encryption that has been validated to meet government FIPS* requirements. Unlike software‐based encryption, this “always‐on” protection cannot be disabled. And since the Cryptochip generates and stores the strong, random encrypted keys, the encryption routines run faster and more securely than any software‐based encryption system. Physically Hardened The IronKey is an investment that will last for years. The IronKey has a rugged metal casing to protect it from physical damage and the internal components are sealed to protect against tampering. Also, IronKey has passed and exceeded military waterproof testing requirements. Secure & Effective No one can access files stored on the device unless the user authenticates with the correct password. All encryption and password verification are performed in hardware, and cannot be disabled by malware or a careless user. This eliminates the risk of compromised confidential portable data. Easy To Deploy and Maintain The IronKey does not require any software or drivers to be installed and even works on Windows XP and Vista without administrator privileges. The IronKey offers drag‐and‐drop encryption, “plug and play” simplicity and intuitive encrypted backup, which helps minimize the total cost of ownership. Onboard security software cannot be tampered with or removed. Each IronKey has a unique, easy‐to‐read serial number, making it simple to track and inventory. “This is without a doubt the most secure USB flash drive I’ve ever tested.” - Computerworld.com - Feb-08 |
