Description The Kingston Technology Company, Inc. IronKey D500S Series USB Flash Drive is a hardware cryptographic module designed for organizations that require a secure way to store and transfer portable data. The stored data is secured by hardware‐based 256‐bit AES on‐the‐fly encryption to guard sensitive information in case the drive is lost or stolen. Its strong, durable, metal casing provides robust physical protection. Its strong password rules and lock‐down control protects against brute force attacks.

Automated analysis

Automated inference - use with caution

All attributes shown in this section (e.g., links between certificates, products, vendors, and known CVEs) are generated by automated heuristics and have not been reviewed by humans. These methods can produce false positives or false negatives and should not be treated as definitive without independent verification. This applies equally to the Cross-references section below. If you want to know more about how this data is computed and how reliable it is, see our documentation on automated analysis. If you believe any information here is inaccurate or harmful, please submit feedback.

No automatically derived data are available in this section.
