IronKey Basic is the world‘s most secure USB flash drive. Designed specifically for the needs of sensitive military, government and enterprise networks, it is extremely easy to deploy and use. IronKey Basic technology comprises the core platform for the IronKey family of secure storage and authentication products.
Always-On Data Encryption
All user data is encrypted with AES CBC-mode hardware encryption that has been validated to meet government FIPS 140-2 Level 2 requirements. Unlike software-based encryption, this "always-on" protection cannot be disabled. In addition, since the IronKey Cryptochip generates and stores strong, random encryption keys, encryption routines run faster and more securely than on any software-based encryption system.
Physically Hardened
The IronKey Basic drive is an investment that will last for years. Its rugged metal casing protects it against physical damage, and the internal components are sealed to protect against tampering. Additionally, it far exceeds military waterproof requirements.
Secure and Self-Defending
No one can access files stored on an IronKey drive unless they authenticate with the correct password. All encryption and password verification are performed in hardware, and cannot be disabled by malware or a careless user. Self-defending IronKey drives also provide hardware-level active protections against the spread of worms, crimeware, and other malicious code.
Easy to Deploy and Maintain
IronKey devices do not require any software or drivers to be installed, and even work on Windows XP and Vista without administrator privileges. They deliver drag-and-drop encryption, "plug and play" simplicity, and intuitive encrypted backup, which help to minimize the total cost of ownership. Onboard security software cannot be tampered with or removed. Each IronKey device has a unique, easy-to-read serial number, making it simple to track and inventory drives.
Cross Platform
IronKey Basic works with Windows 2000, Windows XP or Vista without administrator privileges or the need to install any software or drivers. IronKey Basic devices also work on Linux and Macintosh OS systems.
SECURE, RELIABLE, EASY TO DEPLOY
IronKey has worked with numerous enterprises and leading technology and security partners to provide an extremely secure solution that is reliable, easy to deploy, and will not increase calls to the Help Desk.
Reliable & Premium Quality
Shielded in a solid, tamper-resistant and waterproof metal casing, the IronKey drive is built to survive years of wear and tear. IronKey only uses the highest quality components, delivering 10 to 20 times the average memory lifespan of a traditional flash drive.
Hardware-Level Key Management and Defenses
When an IronKey drive is plugged into a laptop or desktop computer, the user must authenticate with a password before encryption keys are enabled and data and applications are accessible. Unlike software-based encryption, the IronKey Cryptochip does not export AES encryption keys to the host PC, thereby protecting against cold-boot and malware attacks.
IronKey Basic protects against brute force password guessing attacks by using non-volatile access-failure counters stored on the Cryptochip itself. If a thief tries to break into an IronKey Basic drive and enters 10 incorrect passwords, the Cryptochip securely erases all encrypted data with patent-pending Flash Trash technology. This ensures no data can be recovered from the device.
Endpoint Security Aware
IronKey Basic has been designed to work seamlessly with many of the industry's leading endpoint security software products. Every device has a unique serial number, making it easy to manage and apply usage policies.
