Distribution Agreement Enables Purchase of IronKey Secure and Managed Portable Solutions Through GSA Schedule
IronKey and Carahsoft Technology Corp. announced that Carashsoft will distribute IronKey’s managed portable storage, authentication and trusted virtual computing solutions for mobile workers in the public sector.
In entering this agreement, IronKey is able to leverage Carahsoft’s expertise in delivering industry-leading solutions to federal, state and local government agencies, and enable public sector customers and reseller partners to access their products through Carahsoft’s GSA Schedule. IronKey solutions allow for increased productivity within government organizations by granting agency employees the flexibility of secure data portability, and the cost-effective benefits of virtualization without the security risks associated with most USB flash drives.
“By partnering with industry leaders such as IronKey, we empower government customers and reseller partners with innovative and market-leading solutions to help protect critical data and networks,” said Craig P. Abod, president of Carahsoft. “We are delighted to work with IronKey to deliver advanced solutions to enhance and streamline mobile worker productivity without compromising security.”
IronKey is the global leader in providing portable storage, authentication and trusted virtual computing solutions for mobile workers, and has a long-standing record of trusted service with government agencies. IronKey encapsulates the latest desktop virtualization technology in a managed and secure portable device. It offers a cost effective way to enable mobile workers with a highly secure computing environment, and the ability to run an entire desktop, including the operating system, specific applications and files directly from an IronKey secure portable computing device.
Confidential information is protected using AES 256-bit CBC mode encryption. The system includes active anti-malware protection, password protection and virus scanning in a waterproof and tamper resistant device. IronKey devices can also be managed remotely, allowing tracking, controlled access to sensitive data and the ability to disable or destroy lost or stolen drives.
“IronKey is dedicated to working with strategic channel partners who are proven leaders in bringing comprehensive security solutions to market,” said David Jevans, CEO at IronKey. “Carahsoft’s established public sector relationships and its focus on industry-leading security solutions make them an ideal partner to help our customers meet increasing demands to defend critical data, comply with legislative requirements and improve productivity.”
