London, September 15, 2010 – IronKey today announced that the IronKey Enterprise S200 has officially entered the CAPS evaluation program from the CESG, the UK national technical authority for information assurance.

CESG aims to protect and promote the vital interests of the UK by providing advice and assistance on the security of communications and electronic data. CESG delivers information assurance policy, services and advice that government and other customers need to protect vital information services.

Dave Jevans, CEO IronKey commented, “We’re thrilled that IronKey Enterprise has started evaluation under the CAPS program. The CAPS program is an essential tool for government organisations providing assurance that products developed under CAPS provide assured solutions for all governmental cryptographic requirements.”

The CAPS program was introduced to meet the increasing governmental demand for cryptographic products, the CESG Assisted Products Service (CAPS) provides independent verification that cryptographic products meet Government standards and then formally approves their use by UK Government agencies and the wider public sector.
IronKey Enterprise enables organisations to remotely administer policies across thousands of devices over the Internet. If needed, administrators can remotely disable or remotely wipe devices. In addition to storing data, IronKey Enterprise devices are increasingly being used to store and run portable applications.

Jevans concluded, “At a time when the Information Commissioners Office has highlighted the poor record of government organisations in the area of data protection - and the fact that the ICO can now fine organisations up to £500k - there is huge pressure to better understand how to protect data whilst ensuring their employees can work securely from any location. With IronKey Enterprise, organisations have the peace of mind that if a device were lost the data could is protected from compromise.”
