Kingston digital, a flash subsidiary of Kingston technologies, today announced the launch of the latest encrypted USB drive ironkey vault privacy 50 (VP50), which has FIPS 197 certification and AES 256 bit hardware encryption in XTS mode. Kingston ironkey vault privacy 50 supports complex or password mode administrators, users, and one-time password recovery.
This multi password option enhances the ability to restore access to data on the hard disk drive if one of the passwords is forgotten. The traditional complex mode allows users to use 3 of the 4 character sets, i.e. 6-16 character passwords, while the new password mode enables users to have a digital pin, sentence, word list, or even 10-64 character lyrics. To help you enter a password, you can enable the "eye" symbol to display the entered password during the operation to reduce the number of failed login attempts.
Administrators can also enable users and one-time recovery passwords, or reset user passwords to restore data access. In addition, VP50 prevents brute force exhaustive attacks by locking the user or restoring the password at one time when 10 consecutive invalid entries are made. If the administrator password is incorrectly entered for 10 consecutive times, the entire flash memory will be erased. Although the data will be lost, there is no fear of leakage.
VP50 can also protect flash memory by setting read-only mode by administrators and users to prevent potential malware in untrusted systems; In addition, the built-in virtual keyboard can protect the password from being discovered by the keyboard recorder or screen recorder. Enterprises can customize and configure VP50 with product ID (PID) through Kingston's customization plan to integrate with standard endpoint management software and meet enterprise it and network security requirements. Small and medium-sized enterprises can use the administrator role to locally manage their drives. For example, use the administrator to configure or reset employees' users or restore passwords at one time, restore data access to locked drives, and comply with laws and regulations when evidence collection is required. VP50 is an encrypted storage under the physical control of users, making it superior to using Internet and cloud services to protect important data.
Kingston ironkey vault privacy 50 has a capacity ranging from 8GB to 256gb, and has a five-year limited warranty, free technical support and Kingston reliability support.
