Announcement posted by Simms International 25 May 2010

The recent supply of infected flash drives to conference attendees by one of the world’s largest IT vendors highlights the need for secure mobile data solutions to protect users not only against malware and viruses but against confidential data being lost or stolen.

The IronKey solution is the world’s most secure thumb drive, which keeps the enormous productivity benefits of flash drives while protecting against the threats they pose to the organisation.
