Kingston unveils hardware-encrypted IronKey D500S USB flash drive
Kingston has announced its latest security-focused drive: the IronKey D500S. This is not just another USB-A flash drive; it’s a marvel in hardware-encrypted data security, designed to provide military-grade protection for classified data in transit.
The D500S packs a punch with its FIPS 140-3 Level 3 (Pending) certification, aligned with the newest guidelines from NIST. These call for upgraded secure microprocessors to amplify protection against potential security threats, especially for government and military use. To further reinforce its robustness, the drive conducts self-tests upon initiation and is equipped with thermal and voltage safeguards that auto-shut when reaching a particular limit.
