Self-Defending Flash Drives with Active Anti-Malware
Many organizations must weigh the significant productivity benefits gained by the use of USB flash devices with the risks they can bring. Conventional USB flash drives and memory sticks provide a pathway into the organization for various types of malicious code.

Unlike these unprotected devices, IronKey Enterprise drives are intelligent self-defending storage devices with active malware defences, strong two-factor authentication (onboard certificate in hardware), onboard security co-processors and onboard anti-virus scanning software.

They are also capable of remote management, allowing IronKey to provide automated security and anti-malware updates over the Internet or corporate network - with the absolute security provided by authentication in hardware. This allows IronKey devices to provide your mobile workers with a high level of malware and crimeware protection.

IronKey has worked closely with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Science & Technology Directorate to research the next generation of malware and crimeware defence technologies. These include:

Anti-Worm Secure AutoRun Protection 
Prevents AutoRun malware such as the Conficker worm from infecting IronKey devices and corporate networks.

Write Protection
A Read-Only mode stops malware from jumping onto an IronKey device from an untrusted PC and policy-based controls to restrict IronKey usage to Trusted Networks. This policy-based control allows administrators to restrict which networks employees can use their IronKey Enterprise devices on.

Anti-Virus Scanning
IronKey has launched an industry-leading service for delivering anti-virus scanning updates to detect and remove a broad spectrum of malware.

Secure Manufacturing Processes
IronKey manages a secure supply chain, ensuring that devices cannot be infected during the manufacturing process. IronKey devices are designed and assembled in the USA.
