IronKey Anti-Malware Protection

Cyber-criminals are gaining access to corporate and government networks by getting malicious software malware and crimeware onto computers in the network by bringing it in on common USB flash drives and other removable media.

IronKey Enterprise devices are managed remotely, allowing IronKey to provide automated security and anti-malware updates over the Internet or corporate network.
