Iron Key Launches Regulatory Compliant USB Flash Drive With Internet Protection Services

(July 30, 2007)-- IronKey, a provider of data and Internet security products, launched the IronKey Secure Flash Drive with Internet Protection Services. IronKey brings unprecedented data security and protection of online passwords and privacy to consumers and enterprise users in a sleek USB flash drive with hardware encryption.

The IronKey has been designed to be the world's most secure USB flash drive, using onboard hardware encryption to protect the gigabytes of files that can be stored on the device. No software or drivers need to be installed on the host computer to use an IronKey. A password is used to unlock the IronKey, and this is verified in hardware. If an IronKey is lost or stolen, attempts to unlock or tamper with it will trigger a self-destruct sequence, ensuring data is kept confidential.

What sets the IronKey apart from other secure USB flash drives is its integrated Internet services, which leverage the encryption and authentication power of the IronKey Cryptochip to protect Internet passwords and web surfing. When the IronKey is plugged into a computer and unlocked with a password, its owner can use the IronKey Password Manager to securely store and manage all of his online passwords, and protect them from phishing, pharming and keylogging threats.

"IronKey is a nearly indestructible device with military-grade hardware encryption and authentication technology," said David Jevans, CEO of IronKey. "Its security is unrivaled by any other USB flash drive device available today, and its speed and reliability are at the top of its class. This device was created for anyone who values protecting personal data and wants a safe and secure online experience."

IronKeys can easily satisfy most organizations' network management policies, and they work seamlessly with enterprise-level USB security management products to give IT administrators centralized management of the devices. Featuring security technology that surpasses most laptops, and hardware encryption more effective than most software encryption solutions, the IronKey is a high-speed, reliable and easy-to-use device for anyone needing to carry confidential data on a USB device.

The IronKey's core features include:

-- Hardware-Encrypted USB Flash Drive: With its strong hardware cryptography and authentication, there is no need to install additional hardware, software or drivers.

-- Password Management: The IronKey provides a single place for users to safely encrypt and manage all of their passwords; plus you can back up the encrypted passwords online in case you ever lose the device.

-- Password Recovery: The IronKey.com online services also allow users to recover their device password if they ever forget it.

-- Portable Secure Browsing: With a click of a button, the onboard Firefox web browser enables secure and private web surfing, even through unprotected wireless networks, with enhanced Tor technology.

-- Assists in Regulatory Compliance: The IronKey helps organizations meet regulatory requirements such as Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA and GLBA.

-- Rugged and Durable: Unlike plastic USB drives, the IronKey's rugged metal casing is filled solid with epoxy, making it both tamperproof and waterproof.
