Kingston IronKey™ D500S best-in-class USB flash drive features military-grade and CMMC-compliant security to safeguard classified data. It is FIPS 140-3 Level 3 Validated with new enhancements f NIST for stronger security and attack protections. It features a rugged zinc casing that is waterproof*, dustproof*, shock and vibration resistant**, crush resistant and epoxy filled. Designed and assembled by Kingston in California, D500S is the world’s first FIPS 140-3 Level 3 Validated drive with a TAA-compliant trusted supply chain.

The best-in-class Kingston IronKey™ D500S USB flash drive features flagship military-grade hardware-based XTS-AES 256-bit encryption that makes IronKey the most trusted brand to safeguard classified information with CMMC compliance. It is FIPS 140-3 Level 3 Validated with new enhancements f NIST requiring secure microprocessor upgrades for stronger security and attack protections for government and military uses. Governments and enterprises need to establish new drive policies with the latest security standard defined by NIST. Data is encrypted and decrypted on the D500S without any trace left on the host system. Designed and assembled by Kingston in California, D500S is the world’s first FIPS 140-3 Level 3 Validated drive with a TAA compliant trusted supply chain. All critical drive components were directly sourced by Kingston f TAA-compliant and trusted suppliers, and stocked in the secured Kingston Manufacturing Centre in California, USA to ensure drive assembly is done in tightly controlled, engineering-supervised processes.

It features a rugged zinc casing that is waterproof*, dustproof*, shock and vibration resistant to military standards**, crush resistant and filled with special epoxy to protect internal components f penetration attacks.

IronKey D500S is an essential pillar to meeting Data Loss Protection (DLP) best practices with the toughest military-grade security for compliance with data encryption laws and regulations such as CMMC, SOC2, NIS2, FISMA, GDPR, PIPEDA, HIPAA, HITECH, GLBA, SOX and CCPA, along with TAA. D500S offers more features than any other drive in its class, making it an industry-leading security solution for high-value, confidential data protection.

For added peace of mind, D500S incorporates digitally-signed , making it immune to BadUSB malware. Brute force password attack protection is always on to guard against password guessing and will ultimately crypto-erase the drive if invalid password retries are exceeded.

It offers a multi-password option to access data, which supports up to three passwords: Admin, User and One-Time Recovery. Admin can reset a User password and also enable a One-Time Recovery password to restore access if the User password is forgotten.

D500S supports traditional Complex password or Passphrase e***. Passphrases can be f 10–128 characters long. The FBI recommends multi-word passphrases of 15 or more characters as stronger yet easier to remember than complex passwords.****

D500S includes an industry-first Dual Hidden Partition option where Admin can create two custom-sized secure partitions for Admin and User, thereby allowing for a Hidden File Store that can be used to provision files to the User partition as needed. When using untrusted systems or sharing the drive, the Hidden File Stores keep their data secure and invisible unless properly accessed.

With a special key sequence, one can enter a Crypto-Erase password that will crypto-erase the drive, destroy the data forever and reset it to prevent unauthorised access in compising situations. By destroying and regenerating its AES 256-bit encryption keys and erasing all data associated with previous keys, the drive ensures that CUI is completely unrecoverable, supporting organisations in achieving compliance with NIST SP 800-88 and NIST SP 800-171.

To assist users with keyboard issues, all password entry screens include an eye symbol that will display the password entered to reduce typos. A virtual keyboard is also available in English***** to shield password entry f keyloggers and screenloggers.

D500S also supports two levels of Read-Only (Write-Protect) es. Both Admin and User can set a session-based Read-Only e to protect the drive f malware on untrusted systems. Admin can also set a Global Read-Only e that sets the drive in Read-Only e until reset.

It also delivers fast dual-channel performance without compising security. The drive includes a unique 8-digit serial number that is the same electronically as the number engraved on the casing, with a scannable bar code for drive deployment or auditing purposes.

D500S offers fully customisable features and functionality to meet your organisation's specific needs.
