Mobile Data Protection:

Protecting mobile data:

• Always-on, hardware encryption
• High-performance, reliable storage
• Central management and reporting
• Automatic updates

Solution: IronKey Enterprise

A disastrous data breach is just one lost storage device away. Legislation and regulatory action around the world have made the loss of personal, private, and confidential data a concern to business managers throughout enterprises and government. US state and federal laws such as HITECH act, and regulatory action in the UK by the Information Commissioner Office (ICO) now require reporting the loss or theft of personally identifiable information (PII). The average cost of a data breach globally is now over $3.4 million with organizations in the US, UK, and Germany incurring the highest costs.*

The regulatory trend is now moving towards requiring organizations to proactively protect data instead of waiting to notify after its loss. New laws in the US, such as states of Massachusetts and Nevada, require the protection of private data with encryption.

Strong encryption is recognized by industry and government regulators as the best way to protect mobile data, especially data stored on portable USB devices. Encrypting data often provides "safe harbor" from breach notification, fines, and other regulatory action. Equally important, being able to manage, audit, and report on the use of encryption is critical for achieving safe harbor.

Financial Malware Protection:

Protecting commercial online banking:

• Achieve FFIEC compliance
• Meet NACHA & FBI guidelines
• Tamper-proof, portable security
• Easy-to-use, secured connection
• Policy for new threats
• Usage reporting

Solution: IronKey Trusted Access for Banking

Millions are being lost to financial malware each week. A single crimeware attack can leave customers and banks scrambling to recover over $1M in an instant. All of these attacks have one common element: a compromised bank customer computer. Designed to target the authentication, payments, and transfer capabilities of online business banking, ZeuS, SpyEye, SunSpot, OddJob and other man-in-the browser, man-in-the-middle and keylogger attacks are stealing money from unsuspecting victims on a massive scale.

As a result, banks must now comply with FFIEC guidance to prevent online banking fraud. The FFIEC states banks can effectively prevent fraud with a USB device "that increases session security when plugged into the customer's PC...they generally enable a secure link between the customer's PC and the financial institution independent of the PC's operating system and application software." Industry analyst firm Gartner, now also recommends banks provide customers with secure browsing to stop fraudsters. IronKey Trusted Access for Banking meets and exceeds these requirements, enabling banks to prevent fraud and meet their FFIEC obligations.

Enable Portable Virtualization:

Enabling portable desktop virtualization:

• Lightweight virtualization client
• Always-on, hardware encryption
• High-performance, reliable storage
• Central management and reporting

Solution: IronKey Enterprise

Managing desktops and replacing aging computers is a significant expense for every IT organization. The increasing pressure for consumerization, mobility, and influx of contract workers is making it even more difficult for IT teams to keep up. At the same time, controlling access to data and preventing data breaches is now more important than ever as the number of data breach and data protection regulations grow worldwide.

Virtualization, which has reduced cost, increased security and availability, and enabled more agile business responses in the data center, is moving to the desktop. With a complete desktop stored on secure, portable storage, users can travel anywhere and always use their applications and data. And with always-on encryption and authentication, data remains secured and compliance maintained. Portable virtual desktops also allow contractors and temporary workers to have access to applications, data, and networks without additional hardware costs or risk of exposing unauthorized data.

IronKey solutions enable portable desktops

IronKey takes desktop virtualization to the next level by cutting the ties to the data center and removing reliance on high-bandwidth network connections. IronKey solutions, developed together with Lockheed Martin, MokaFive, and VMware deliver the latest desktop virtualization technology in a managed secure portable device that plugs into an employee's home computer, or almost any Windows PC. By isolating the workspace—the user's applications, data, and associated resources—from the PC hardware, these solutions provide the security enterprises need to outfit workers with a highly secure "work anywhere, anytime" computing environment. They also offer an ideal way to provide for business continuity and disaster recovery.

Disaster Recovery:

Planning for disaster recovery::

• High-performance portable storage
• Always-on, hardware encryption
• Single device for authentication, applications, & portable desktops
• Remote management and reporting

Solution: IronKey Enterprise

Businesses and governments can't afford to be unprepared for downtime or interrupted operations. Natural disasters, pandemics, and system outages can quickly disrupt and disable unprepared organizations.

Organizations are using mobile computing, telecommuting, and pre-staged recovery kits to prepare for disaster recovery. High density portable storage allows large, essential data sets to be transferred and stored. High performance portable storage also allows virtual machines and bootable operating environments, sometimes called a "PC on a stick," to be deployed. In addition to critical data, this provides workers a complete work environment that's easily stored, portable, and runs anywhere – whether out in the field or from employees' homes.

With so much data stored and in use, it must also be secured. Planning for local or worldwide disaster recovery still requires compliance with data protection and breach notification rules. In the US, UK, Germany, and other countries, strong encryption is recognized by industry and government regulators as the best way to protect mobile data, especially data stored on portable USB devices. Encrypting data and being able to report on its protection often provides "safe harbor" from breach notification, fines, and other regulatory action. And especially in times of disaster recovery, IP theft and espionage are still real threats. Strong encryption keeps confidential data and proprietary business processes safe from compromise.

IronKey solutions for disaster recovery planning

IronKey Enterprise is an essential part of preparing an emergency recovery kit. Encrypted USB portable storage allows large data sets to be stored and transferred. High performance flash memory allows workers access to applications using virtual machines or bootable PC on a stick environments. Onboard two factor authentication allows a single device to replace multiple items and simplify recovery. Administrators can assist users with password recovery and if needed can remotely disable devices and wipe data.
