How Secure is Your USB Drive?
I recently visited with the owner of a local accounting and financial planning firm who told me about IronKey. He raved about it and told me it allows him the convenience of moving Peachtree backup files between his office and his clients' sites without the fear of security vulnerabilities.
IronKey is a slick device that, if nothing else, will give you a little James Bond cachet. It's a USB drive housed in a rugged waterproof metal case. The technical innards are encased in an epoxy-based potting compound (goo) that makes it tamperproof. It uses military-grade AES hardware encryption to keep files secure, and encryption keys are stored on its "Cryptochip." If the device detects a physical attack, the Cryptochip will self-destruct to destroy the encryption keys (Mission Impossible smoke not included).
It includes software for securely managing your passwords and for creating automatic secure backups. It can also run compatible portable software applications and comes with a portable version of Firefox installed. This allows you to use your IronKey at public computers without leaving a trace. |
