CANADA, Ontario, October 4th, 2007 - Simple Technology Inc. of Concord, Ontario, a value added distributor for over 20 years of OEM keyboards and peripherals, and high-technology IT security products, announced today that it has signed an agreement with IronKey a provider of secure portable computing products and Internet security services, to distribute the IronKey secure flash drives to the Canadian market. IronKey packs an advanced, military-grade Cryptochip into each device for automatic, always-on protection whenever—and wherever—you use your IronKey drive.
The IronKey has been designed to be the world’s most secure USB flash drive, using on-board hardware encryption to protect the gigabytes of files that can be stored on the device. No software or drivers need to be installed on your computer to use an IronKey. A password is used to unlock your IronKey, and this is verified in hardware. If an IronKey is lost or stolen, attempts to unlock or tamper with the IronKey will trigger a self-destruct sequence, ensuring data is kept confidential.
What sets the IronKey apart from other secure USB flash drives is its integrated Internet services which leverage the encryption and authentication power of the IronKey CryptoChip to protect Internet passwords and web surfing. When the IronKey is plugged into a computer and unlocked with a password, its owner can use the IronKey Password Manager to securely store and manage all their online passwords, and protect them from phishing, pharming and key logging threats.
“IronKey secure flash drives are unlike any flash drive on the market.” said Brian Muir, VP Business Development for Simple Technology. “It uses state-of-the-art password management, AES encryption, and exceeds military water-proof testing requirements. Its hardware level access control Cryptochip prevents brute-force guessing attacks. We are very excited about this partnership, and we are pleased to offer such a great product to our Canadian resellers.”
“Businesses and individuals face tremendous threats to privacy and security when they connect to the Internet or store files on removable media,” said David Jevans, CEO of IronKey “IronKey's security is unrivaled by any other USB flash drive device available today, and should provide resellers with a compelling, marketable solution.”
