Whitepaper: Enforcing Secure USB Policies
Along with the freedom and flexibility USB flash drives give to workers, they create a number of obvious risks for the enterprise. Since these tiny devices can carry huge amounts of data, the most obvious risk is unauthorized access to stored data in the event a device is lost or stolen.

Remote Management Eliminate the risks posed by uncontrolled flash drives in your environment without impairing the productivity of your mobile workers. IronKey Enterprise lets you take charge of USB storage with a sophisticated management service that makes it easy to remotely administer thousands of secure IronKey drives over the Internet. Now you can enforce encryption and security policies even as users work from home.
Enterprise-Class Central Management Establishing policies that require employees to use only encrypted drives is not enough to protect against data loss or to ensure compliance with various industry and government privacy regulations. An enterprise-class approach requires sophisticated management capabilities that allow administrators to easily and rapidly deploy encrypted flash drives, and then remotely manage them in the field.
The IronKey Enterprise management service allows tiered administration of drives: Enterprise System Administrators can designate other administrators, who can then manage users and policies on the devices.
Remotely Terminate Drives in the Field In the event the drive is compromised in any way-such as if a user loses the device together with a written password or an employee moves to a competitor with the device in his or her possession-administrators can, over the Internet, remotely revoke access to the stored data, or even tell the drive to "self destruct" its internal circuitry.
Remotely Enforce Security Policies Administrators can remotely enforce policies to ensure that data stored on IronKey USB drives is inaccessible to unauthorized users. This includes integration with third-party device control systems to allow only hardware-encrypted IronKey Enterprise drives to mount to your organization's PCs. This approach safeguards your critical mobile data, because all data transferred to an IronKey drive is automatically protected with AES 256-bit hardware-based always-on encryption (users cannot turn off or otherwise disable this military-grade protection).
