Lockheed Martin and IronKey today announced IronClad, secure computing in the form of a USB flash drive. The IronClad USB key shrinks an entire notebook’s hard drive, including the operating system, programs, and files, onto a secure flash drive. This allows users to have access to their own desktop and files on nearly any computer. Everything is run off of the flash drive; none of the data is passed to the hard drive of the computer IronClad is plugged into. The IronClad key has 256-bit encryption and hardware-level protection.
The IronClad key has the following features:
- Rugged, Secure Hardware: Built on IronKey’s proven secure USB drives, each IronClad drive includes at least 8GB of 256-bit encrypted storage, wrapped in a rugged, water- and shock-resistant metal casing.
- Patent-Pending Mobile Computing Software: Custom Lockheed Martin technology lets users run their entire desktop – from the operating system to specific applications and files – directly off of the USB drive. Built-in advanced virus protection lets users plug into any shared or public computer with confidence.
- Network-Wide Management: Each IronClad drive is a node on a centrally-managed network that lets IT organizations control security policies, keep watch on each drive, and carefully manage the applications that can or cannot be installed on the drive.
Pricing and availability information were not available at press time.
