Lockheed Martin, IronKey Introduce IronClad
Lockheed Martin and IronKey have announced an advanced USB flash drive called IronClad.
"The brand new IronClad raises the bar of expectation for flash drives by shrinking a laptop's hard drive onto a sleek and compact device, including the complete operating system, files, and software applications," according to VentureLoop. "Users can plug the drive into any computer and gain secure and instant access to their own desktop and personal files."
"The entire works runs off the flash drive so the user's personal files and data never touches the host computer and when removed there is no trace that the flash drive was ever there," writes SlashGear's Shane McGlaun. "The IronClad device is encrypted with hardware-level protection against malware and rootkit"
"[The] drive is available starting at 8GB capacity and offers 256-bit military-grade encryption, built-in virus protection, and a rugged water- and shock-resistant metal casing," writes ZDNet's Andrew Nusca.
"Nothing on price yet, but soon government employees everywhere will be using them," writes SlipperyBrick's Conner Flynn.
