Integration of Industry-Leading Authentication Server Provides Essential Security Tool for Enterprise Organizations Deploying Portable Security Devices

IronKey, maker of the world’s most secure USB memory stick, announced a strategic partnership with CRYPTOCard, a leading developer of two-factor authentication technology, in order to integrate CRYPTOCard’s trusted authentication technology with IronKey Enterprise USB devices.

All IronKey Enterprise devices now ship with CRYPTOCard One Time Password (OTP) technology, which provides a two-factor authentication for CRYPTOCard’s BlackShield ID Authentication Server without the need for additional physical tokens. Integrating CRYPTOCard authentication with IronKey devices significantly reduces the time needed for enterprises to deploy and manage authentication.

“We are pleased to partner with IronKey to deliver an unprecedented security solution for the enterprise,” said Neil Hollister, CEO, CRYPTOCard. “By embedding our token technology into the IronKey device, we are able to answer our customers demands for a completely portable, two-factor authentication, remote access solution via a device they will be carrying anyway, and eliminating the need to carry a separate token. By including our unique ‘one pin and you’re in’ software solution, user access to their remote network or Web application is as simple as it is today, but with key risks mitigated.”

IronKey is leading the emerging market for all-inclusive Portable Security Devices (PSDs) that provide secure storage along with a range of active security features. Comprehensive layers of protection on IronKey Enterprise devices include hardware encryption, strong authentication, secure Web browsing, identity management and malware protection.

“Enterprise organizations need to enable workers with the convenience and flexibility of anywhere, anytime access while ensuring that it is done securely,” said Steve Ryan, senior vice president of business development at IronKey. “The integration of CRYPTOCard’s technology with the IronKey enables us to provide comprehensive security and personal value to enterprise users on one convenient, easy-to-use, converged device combining secure storage with strong authentication.”
