even more proof that IronKey is the world’s most secure flash drive. We
are also releasing a suite of new enterprise remote management capabilities,
available over the Internet from the IronKey managed service, or from our
enterprise server software that companies can install and operate themselves.

Scott Crawford, research director for the security practice at Enterprise
Management Associates said:

FIPS 140-2, Level 3 is most often associated with devices such as
high-confidence security hardware typically found in the data center. To have
implemented this in a USB form factor is a noteworthy achievement--yet is just
one of the many measures IronKey has integrated with its products, which speaks
to IronKey’s commitment to extending a distinctively high level of
security to portable media devices.
