Ask an ExpertKingston’s IronKey™ S1000 meets the strictest standards to make it the ultimate security drive. Safeguard 100 percent of confidential data with 256-bit AES hardware-based encryption, in XTS mode, and FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validation with on-device Cryptochip Encryption Key management. The drive detects and responds to physical tampering and provides automatic data protection upon drive removal. For added peace of mind, the drive uses digitally-signed firmware making it immune to BadUSB. The drive locks down after ten invalid password attempts and there is also the option to reformat or destroy the drive.
On-device Cryptochip provides the ultimate layer of hardware security
Enhanced hardware-based security; XTS-AES 256-bit
FIPS 140-2 Level 3
Centrally manage drive access and usage1
Anodized Aluminum rugged secure casing
USB 3.0 Fast performance
Available in 4GB to 128GB2 capacities, the S1000 basic model provides fast USB 3.03 performance and enhanced, hardware-based security without compromise. Meeting the most stringent standards for military grade strength and durability, the drive is built with an anodized aluminum enclosure and epoxy-filled casing. Dust- and shock-resistant, the S1000 is waterproof to MIL-STD-810F standards.
In addition to the basic model qualities, the S1000 enterprise version offers central administration of drive access and usage across thousands of IronKey enterprise drives with the intuitive, easy to use, secure online interface1. Using an activated license and available SafeConsole or IronKey EMS1 by DataLocker, the drive works with either cloud-based or on-premises servers to remotely enforce password and access policies; allow users to recover lost passwords; and even let administrators repurpose drives no longer in use.

Overall, Kingston / IronKey Encrypted USB Drives prove to be the best solution in reliability, compatibility and security for portable data protection solutions.
There are many advantages to using a dedicated hardware encryption processor in USB flash drives.
Tips for your organization's compliance with new security regulations like the EU GDPR and New York’s NYDFS.
Regulations like GDPR include data protection policies. Encryption can be part of your overall compliance strategy.
This requires encryption of sensitive data, appointing a Security Officer, cyber security programs and policy adoption.
1. Enterprise model only. SafeConsole or IronKey EMS Cloud Service End of Life (EOL) Announcement by DataLocker, purchased separately.
2. Some of the listed capacity on a Flash storage device is used for formatting and other functions and thus is not available for data storage. As such, the actual available capacity for data storage is less than what is listed on the products. For more information, go to Kingston's Flash Memory Guide.
3. Speed may vary due to host hardware, software and usage.
4. First free drive letters after physical devices such as system partition, optical drives, etc.
5. Supports i386/x86_64 Intel and AMD-based processors only. Certain distributions of Linux will require super-user (root) privileges in order to execute the DataTraveler commands properly in the terminal application window.
i. S1000 Basic: Linux 32-bit OS support. The drive must be first initialized on either a supported Windows or Mac OS. It supports the following Linux commands: login, logout and password change.
ii. S1000 Enterprise – (Forced Managed): Linux 32-bit OS support. Must be initialized on a supported Windows or Mac OS and is limited to only locking and unlocking the protected data partition on Linux OS (none of the managed features work on Linux and if the Admin creates a policy that requires the drive call home every time it is used, this would mean the drive won’t work on Linux. The drive can’t communicate to the server while it is being used on Linux).
