HOW IS IT DIFFERENT THAN A REGULAR FLASH DRIVE?
FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certification
Sentry EMS is a FIPS-certified device so you can feel confident that you’re complying with regulatory
requirements.
Hardware Encryption
The Cryptochip in your device protects your data to the same level as highly classified government
information. This security technology is always on and cannot be disabled.
Password-Protected
Device access is secured using password protection. Do not share your password with anyone so that even if
your device is lost or stolen, no one else can access your data.
Device Reset
If the Cryptochip detects physical tampering, or if the number of consecutive incorrect password attempts
exceeds 10 attempts, the device will initiate a reset sequence.
Important
—When a device is reset, all onboard
data will be erased and the device returns to factory settings—
so remember your password
.
Anti-Malware Autorun Protection (device must be activated with IronKey EMS)
Your device is capable of protecting you from many of the latest malware threats targeting USB drives by
detecting and preventing autorun execution of unapproved programs. It can also be unlocked in Read-Only
Mode if you suspect the host computer is infected.
