IronKey, Inc.

IronKey sells hardware-encrypted flash drives and online protection services to companies and consumers who want to protect data from leaking into the hands of unauthorized people.  Flash drives, in general, present a significant security challenge for large organizations due to its small size and ease of use.  If a flash drive is lost or stolen, it could expose sensitive data and proprietary information.  Other threats exist from unsupervised visitors, unscrupulous employees, or even careless employees who can access and carry confidential data out with little chance of detection.  IronKey not only electronically secures the data on its flash drive, but also physically secures it through tamper-proof mechanisms designed into the product.
