How Is This Different Than a Regular USB Drive?

FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Certification - The IronKey S1000B is a FIPS-certified device, so
you can feel confident that you're complying with regulatory requirements.
Hardware Encryption – The Advanced Encryption Controller in your device protects
your data with the same level of protection as highly classified government
information. This security technology feature is always on and cannot be disabled.
Password-Protected - Device access is secured using password protection. Do not
share your password with anyone so that even if your device is lost or stolen, no one else
can access your data.
Device Reset - If the Advanced Encryption Controller detects physical tampering, or if
the number of consecutive incorrect password attempts exceeds 10 attempts, the device
will initiate a reset sequence. Important - When a device is reset, all onboard data will
be erased, and the device returns to factory settings - so remember your password.
Anti-Malware Autorun Protection - Your device can protect you from many of the
latest malware threats targeting USB drives by detecting and preventing autorun
execution of unapproved programs. It can also be unlocked in Read-Only Mode if you
suspect the host computer is infected.
