IronKey Tough on Crime

It is common place to see our government departments hitting the headlines for all the wrong reasons when it comes to breaches of security or loss of our data.

As Police services progress and get to grips with technology, its a familiar sight to see a Police Officer on a street corner with a PDA on his hip and a ticket printer in hand. Gone are the days of the stereotypical whistle swinging and knee bending Cops of Dock Green. But what risks does this present in the age of wi-fi networks, computer fraud and data misuse? Where does this leave our sci-fi Sweeney?

Are we Exposed or In Safe Hands?

Actually it is a mixture of the two. It is a disaster waiting to happen unless our forces take steps to avoid the inevitable. We cannot halt progress but we would do well to remember that we live in an era where a short chain of unfortunate events could land your personal details in the wrong hands. Could a simple on the spot fine lead to your private information being spread across the internet? Give a thought for the highly skilled, yet pressured detective, who selflessly takes reports home to complete after tucking the kids in to bed. Where could that misplaced file end up? I could hazard a guess at where our budding Inspector Morse's career may finish up.

So are they taking it seriously?

James Hall, Managing Director of Complete Source Ltd, gives an insight into todays progressive peelers. "Showcasing the new IronKey range at InfoSec 2008 was always going to be special, but nothing could have prepared us for the interest shown by the UK Police forces". He explained that enquiries have stretched from the Scottish Highlands to The Met in London and into the EU Police forces. " The most interesting aspect has been the diverse enquiries for application of the devices. From PDA's to mobile telephones, laptops to even digital cameras. " With an inquisitive smile on his face, the UK's leading IronKey authority proclaimed, "This is simply the best portable security for computers around ".

The IronKey range of secure USB devices has being wowing security experts across the world in the past year, not least the experts at Americas GCN and SC magazines who have both given the device awards this year. As far as Secure USB devices go this takes some beating. From its simple plug and play feature to its beautifully designed and unmistakable brushed alloy finish, the IronKey is a winner.

Designed as the worlds most secure USB flash drive, IronKey presents 3 options for the consumer whilst maintaining a corpracy in its delivery of data protection. The basic IronKey is simple in its features but it benefits from the same degree of hardware encryption as the other secure USB devices in the range. The second, and very popular option, is the IronKey Personal. Check out its secure sessions that keep you safe and "anonymous" whilst you are online. The premium service, launched in April 2008 in the USA, is the IronKey Enterprise. This is simply reserved for those who wish to take their security to the next level. It is a managed service that allows full control of a group of devices from a central unit or location. All 3 products are simply fantastic.

It is never too late to take action and the Complete Source claim that this could " Protect the protectors " is a simple but effective message. The data and information in a Police Officers PDA may not be as interesting as a footballers pay slip or as important as a terrorists potential demise but I think we would agree its best kept off the front of the tabloids and out of harms reach.

It is encouraging to hear that many of our Police forces are looking at solutions to keep our data and information safe. For that I applaud them and I look forward to fewer stories in our tabloids of embarrassing data protection infringements.
