Kingston Digital, the world’s largest independent memory manufacturer, today announced the IronKey D500S USB drive. As the first-ever such device to reach FIPS 140-3 Level 3 and TAA compliance, this innovative hardware is representative of multiple leaps forward. Designed and assembled in California, this hardware-encrypted USB drive targets government, defense, and enterprise customers who require top-tier protection for sensitive data at rest.
In a world filled with encryption devices, the IronKey D500S is the best choice for any organization requiring robust compliance safeguards. This training, specially curated for the express purpose of increasing CMMC compliance within production supply chains, will help ensure that each element – NAND flash, firmware, etc. – is sourced only from trusted U.S. suppliers. Each unit is manufactured in a secure facility with high engineering control as part of Kingston’s dedication to quality and security.
The D500S’s capacity ranges up to 512GB, offering plenty of space for essential data. It’s backed by a 5-year hardware warranty and available via enterprise-grade technical support, making it even more attractive to enterprise clients.
Richard Kanadjian, global business manager at Kingston, highlighted that the product was different from anything on the market.
“We went over-and-above competitors in the USB data protection industry,” – Richard Kanadjian, global business manager at Kingston.
The IronKey D500S is unique in a market where few drives offer the newer FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification. Unlike its competitors, Apricorn’s Aegis Secure Key 3NX and DataLocker’s Sentry K350, which only reach FIPS 140-2 Level 3 compliance, the D500S comes with advanced security features. Kanadjian further noted,
“D500S stands out as the most security-focused USB drive on the market—delivering unmatched assurance for customers who require the highest level of trusted data protection.” – Richard Kanadjian, global business manager at Kingston.
With the introduction of the IronKey D500S, SecuGen has taken a powerful leap forward in integrated biometric data security solutions. Kingston is dedicated to addressing the growing demand for safe and reliable data storage products. With complete TAA and CMMC supply chain controls in effect, we protect the organizations that protect sensitive information.
