Silver Bullet Adds Remote Data Destruction for IronKey

There are plenty of options to protect data on a USB flash drive that can meet the numerous security requirements of government and corporate alike. Perhaps onboard encryption just isn't enough when admins want to micro-manage individual flash drive content in situations physical access to the hardware is impossible. That's where Silver Bullet comes in. The web-based subscription service that costs $24 per user annually will let admins remotely wipe out or lock the data stored on IronKey.

Basically, whenever an IronKey is inserted into a PC, it can receive commands from Bullet Bullet, which may include completion data destruction; sending back the host's MAC and IP address to the admins; and locking the drive. IronKeys under the control of Silver Bullet could also be configured to work on specific types of computers. If that still isn't enough, admins can also pull out a map indicating where their IronKeys are located around the globe - one of the many examples to keep a record of IP addresses.
