Built with a rugged zinc casing, this drive is waterproof, dustproof, and crush-resistant, ensuring durability in harsh conditions. Its hardware-based XTS-AES 256-bit encryption ensures that data remains secure during transfer and storage, while the drive's design guarantees that no traces are left on the host system during encryption or decryption processes. The D500S is FIPS 140-3 Level 3 (Pending) certified, with enhanced microprocessor security upgrades aligned with NIST standards, making it an ideal choice for government, military, and compliance-driven organizations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSecurity is further reinforced with features like self-tests at startup, detection of over-temperature or voltage anomalies leading to automatic shutdown, and digitally-signed firmware that protects against malware such as BadUSB and brute-force attacks. The drive's brute-force protection mechanism is active at all times, with an automatic crypto-erase feature if multiple invalid password attempts occur, safeguarding high-value data. It supports a multi-password system with Admin, User, and One-Time Recovery options, enabling flexible access control, password resets, and recovery procedures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to its security capabilities, the D500S offers versatile password options, including complex passwords and multi-word passphrases, fulfilling FBI recommendations for strong and memorable passwords. The innovative Dual Hidden Partition feature allows administrators to create two secure, custom-sized partitions for Admin and User, enabling secure file provisioning and invisible data storage unless specifically accessed. A special key sequence can trigger a crypto-erase, permanently destroying all data to prevent unauthorized access. For user convenience, password entry screens include an eye icon to reveal typed characters and a virtual keyboard to prevent keylogger attacks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe drive supports two levels of read-only modes—session-based and global—allowing protection against malware on untrusted systems. Its performance is optimized for speed without compromising security, and it features a unique 8-digit serial number with a barcode for easy deployment and auditing. Certified as TAA and compliant with WEEE standards, the Kingston IronKey D500S is assembled in the USA and environmentally friendly, meeting regulatory requirements for responsible disposal and environmental safety. Its compact 3.1-inch length makes it portable and versatile for secure data transfer and storage needs in demanding professional environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMilitary-grade security with FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification (Pending)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHardware-based XTS-AES 256-bit encryption ensures data protection\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eRugged zinc casing is waterproof, dustproof, and crush-resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSelf-tests on boot and anomaly detection for enhanced security\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDigitally-signed firmware protects against malware like BadUSB\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eBrute-force attack protection with automatic crypto-erase after multiple failed attempts\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMulti-Password support including Admin, User, and One-Time Recovery\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSupports complex passwords and multi-word passphrases for stronger security\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDual Hidden Partition feature for secure, invisible data storage\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCrypto-erase function permanently destroys data and resets the drive\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePassword entry aid with eye icon and virtual keyboard for security and convenience\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eTwo levels of Read-Only modes for malware protection on untrusted systems\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFast performance with a durable zinc enclosure\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eIncludes a scannable barcode and unique serial number for deployment and auditing\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eTAA compliant, environmentally friendly, and assembled in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kingston Technology Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44558937227306,"sku":"7830170","price":232.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/2285\/8794\/files\/1078188077.jpg?v=1783772038","url":"https:\/\/atticusgoods.com\/products\/kingston-ironkey-d500s-256gb-usb-3-2-flash-drive-with-military-grade-security","provider":"Atticus Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
