By collecting a PC’s MAC and IP addresses, other administrative controls can be introduced, Jevans said. IronKey eventually wants to enable its devices to report a computer’s MAC (Media Access Control) address, a unique number linked to a PC’s hardware. IronKey is also working on other tracking-related features that could be rolled out by the end of year. Silver Bullet can also transmit to a central administration console the IP (Internet Protocol) address of a computer in which an IronKey is being used. Another scenario where the lock feature is useful is if a company believes one of its employees is carry objectionable material and wants to preserve the data for analysis. If an employee loses an IronKey but later finds it, the device can be unlocked, Jevans said. Though you log on via software, the S200 uses.
To counter that situation, the Silver Bullet service will let administrators send a command to the IronKey when its inserted into a PC that is connected to the Internet that tells its flash memory hardware controller to wipe the data.Īlternatively, Silver Bullet will also let administrators simply lock the data on an IronKey. The IronKey Personal S200 is possibly the slickest combination of software- and hardware-based security in the flash drive market.
