The IronKey
D80 flash drives
and H80
HDDs
enable users to comply with storage security mandates that
do not require FIPS Certification. The products feature
tamper-resistant enclosures and hardware-based 256-bit AES encryption
with authentication to keep data private and secure.

Recognition of data security threats
has expanded the need for secure portable USB drives beyond
government, defense and regulated industries like healthcare and
financial services. Many organizations are seeking secure solutions
for employees to transport the information they need to be
productive, while protecting private data, intellectual property and
their brands.

Users that require the assurance of
government and certification or centralized device management can
choose IronKey’s FIPS 140 2 Level 3 validated S250 and D250 flash
drives. IronKey D80 and H80 drives are for organizations
seeking compliance with most business policies and standards and who
recognize the security offered by hardware encryption.

"Adding these new secure flash
and HDD drives to the IronKey portfolio extends our advanced security
technology to meet the needs of an even broader number of users and
organizations,
" said Lawrence Reusing, Imation’s GM for mobile security. "Organizations now have the flexibility to
select the IronKey hardware encrypted drives that best balance their
specific security, compliance and budget requirements.
"

Features include:

  • AES 256-bit encryption, the standard
    developed by the U.S. government to protect data;
  • ‘Always-on’ hardware based encryption
    automatically protects all data that is saved to the device;
  • Automatically destroys its data after
    six failed login attempts;
  • Tamper resistant enclosures to protect
    data from damage and theft.

"Enterprise customers are
looking to balance cost versus encryption features when it comes to
securing their data and mitigating privacy risks,
" said Liz
Conner, senior research analyst, IDC, Storage Systems and Personal
Storage. "Imation’s IronKey encrypted drives present a unique
solution for users wanting enterprise security that satisfies
compliance requirements, while remaining cost effective by offering
the appropriate level of protection for their organization.
"

"IT departments appreciate the
advantages of having a mobile, connected workforce, but at the same
time they fear the data security risks. According to a February 2013
Harris survey commissioned by Imation, fewer than half of IT decision
makers feel confident in their data security once workers leave the
building,
" Reusing said. "These companies are
looking to equip their workforces with portable storage tools at the
right security level for their organizations and users. Our IronKey
portfolio now offers a range of options, all featuring IronKey
security, reliability, ruggedness and ease of use.
"
