Product Information
Kingston’s IronKey™ S1000 meets the strictest standards to make it the ultimate security drive. Safeguard 100 per cent of confidential data with 256-bit AES hardware-based encryption, in XTS mode, and FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validation with on-device Cryptochip Encryption Key management. The drive detects and responds to physical tampering and provides automatic data protection upon drive removal. For added peace of mind, the drive uses digitally-signed firmware that makes it immune to BadUSB. S1000 allows for two passphrase types: either a complex password or a passphrase up to 255 characters long. After ten invalid password attempts, the drive locks down with the option to reformat or destroy it.
Basic model
Available in 4GB to 128GB* capacities, the S1000 basic model provides fast USB 3.0** performance and enhanced, hardware-based security without compromise. Meeting the most stringent standards for military grade strength and durability, the drive is built with an anodized aluminum enclosure and epoxy-filled casing. Dust- and shock-resistant, the S1000 is waterproof to MIL-STD-810F standards.
Strictest data security around
Secure lock helps comply with a growing list of regulations and standards including Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS), Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH), Payment Card Industry (PCI) and more.
