David Jevans, CEO at IronKey said:
“As one of the world’s leading information security companies, IronKey is continually innovating to push the boundaries of security and ease of use. Our new IronKey S200 family of secure USB flash drives puts a whole new level of security into the hands of government, military and enterprise customers, at an affordable price. The IronKey S200 is the first and only USB flash drive to achieve the demanding FIPS 140-2, Level 3 security validation from NIST, giving even more proof that IronKey is the world’s most secure flash drive. We are also releasing a suite of new enterprise remote management capabilities, available over the Internet from the IronKey managed service, or from our enterprise server software that companies can install and operate themselves.”

IronKey’s S200 holds the FIPS 140-2, Security Level 3 standard for government security requirements.  They have to be very proud of this, because it is the first and only USB thumb drive that achieved this standard.

This level of security means that the S200 can prevent any illegal access to Critical Security Parameters (CSPs ) that are in the cryptographic module. The USB drive’s circuitry is enclosed in a tamper-resistant metal case.

The anti-malware features offer a very high level of protection against malware and avoid its expansion onto the networks. By using AutoRun lock-down and the read-only mode you can keep worms and other malware from attacking the device.

The IronKey S200 is going to be available in the 16GB size but the price is not yet known.

Customers can benefit from several new technologies developed by MSI, such as the APS power saving, the Easy OS Switch, and the MAX FSB overclocking.

The Active Phase Switching technology allows the control of the power supply using auto phase switching for the central processing unit and components. This involves automatic adjustment of the power according to the operating requirements.

Easy OS Switch is a great tool for switching between different overclocking levels without using the BIOS, while MAX FSB can be activated in order to provide the best settings for the processor, allowing the user adjust FSB and multiplier at the BIOS level in a matter of seconds.

Last but not least there’s the M-Flash technology which offers you the possibility to update or reset the BIOS from an USB drive in case you computer can’t start or is inoperable.

It’s clear that the two new MSI motherboards, C770-C45 and C770-C35, bring attractive features, but even if the manufacturer promises a cost-effective solution there is no word on prices yet.
