IronKey Enterprise Provides Always-On Mobile Data Protection and Policy
Enforcement
SAN FRANCISCO, April 8, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- (RSA Conference, Booth
#956) -- IronKey Inc., the creator of the world's most secure flash drive,
announced today the launch of IronKey Enterprise with centralized
management capabilities and enforced security policies. IronKey Enterprise
brings unprecedented mobile data security to enterprise and government
organizations by combining the world's most secure USB flash drive with the
ability to remotely manage thousands of IronKeys, and strictly enforce
security policies across these devices, all from a centralized
administrative console.
As more business processes are conducted online and off-site, threats
of data breach, identity theft and electronic fraud present serious
challenges for organizations not equipped with proper hardware or portable
device management. IronKey Enterprise allows organizations to leverage the
IronKey's hardware-based military grade encryption to protect their
critical data by allowing a single administrator to deploy and manage
thousands of IronKeys with ease and efficiency. This administrator can also
create a standardized set of enforceable policies that are downloaded into
each IronKey. Because IronKey Enterprise enforces these policies, the
organization is completely reassured that end users will comply with data
protection policies. This substantially reduces the risks associated with
lost, stolen or copied flash drives.
IronKey Enterprise supports advanced functionality including secure
device recovery and works seamlessly with many industry-leading endpoint
security solutions. IronKey Enterprise also leverages the portable security
applications and Internet protection services that are built into each
IronKey, allowing it to extend the IronKey's defenses to identity
management. Administrators of IronKey Enterprise can allow or prevent end
users from using these software and services by setting policy switches in
the administrative console.
"Our enterprise customers are acutely aware of the serious risks these
mobile devices introduce when not protected," said Arthur Coleman, CMO at
IronKey. "IronKey's combination of security applications and services along
with hardware-based encryption already deliver unmatched security for USB
drives. With the addition of centralized management, remote administration
and policy enforcement, agencies and companies can now protect and recover
these devices along with the data, and defend their owners' privacy when
used online, no matter where they travel throughout the world."
IronKey is an ideal platform for managing mobile identities and
deploying portable applications. IronKey Enterprise supports an unlimited
number of RSA SecurID one-time password tokens. IronKey Enterprise devices
also include public-key digital certificates enabling IronKey customers to
enjoy the benefits of Simple Strong Authentication(TM) by leveraging
standard public key, PKCS interfaces. IronKey's high performance and
superior reliability make it an ideal platform for enterprises deploying
virtual desktops allowing
portable applications and secured operating systems to be carried on
the devices.
