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.
iStorage datAshur PRO+C USB-C flash drive is pending FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification
If you are in the market for an insanely secure USB flash drive, a new product from iStorage needs to be on your radar. The "datAshur PRO+C," as it is called, is a USB 3.2 (Gen 1) Type-C flash drive that is designed with both PIN protection and hardware encryption. This innovative drive promises military-grade data protection. Notably, iStorage claims this is the only device awaiting validation for FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification.
The datAshur PRO+C flash drive incorporates advanced security features that guarantee complete data security and protection at all times. Equipped with a built-in rechargeable battery, users can enter an eight to 15 digit PIN using the on-board keypad before connecting the device to a USB port. This means that the datAshur PRO+C remains inaccessible without the unique user PIN, providing users with peace of mind even if the drive is lost or stolen.
