IronKey Continues to Break New Ground in Security, Today: Online Banking
IronKey, we remember when you were just a rugged, secure flash drive. Today, the company is making huge strides in secure computing and enterprise level encrypted operations. The Virtualized USB Key that they are now touting is going to be high security private communications device to handle corporate banking. With some banks now turning around and suing their clients for not securing their own assets, companies are forced to take more personal stake in securing their information.
IronKey has been using their secure and tamper-proof / tamper-evident drives to ferry data securely and more recently to host entire secure operating systems. This latest offering extends the last, with a secure operating system, bootable or run from a window, which connects to a specialized webservice or web site. The drives are locked to only be used for the specific bank service as well the account is locked down to only allow access by the drive. The Iron(Bank)Key can be further secured by SecureID or other token device making for a 3 or 4 factor authentication process for maximum confidentiality. This will most likely be marketed to banks to be distributed by them to their bigger customers, like Coke, Hilton or Bruce Willis as the The Jackal. Owing to that, it will likely be a few years before we get to see these come out to the end user.
