Kingston IronKey Vault Privacy 50 Series USB stick Retail 16 GB Black/blue IKVP50/16GB USB A (USB 3.2 1st gen)

The Kingston IronKey™ Vault Privacy 50 series includes high-quality USB-A and USB-C® sticks that provide enterprise security with FIPS 197 certified AES 256-bit hardware encryption in XTS mode, including protection against BadUSB with digitally signed firmware and against brute force password attacks. The VP50 has been subjected to a penetration test (pen-tested) for enterprise security. Because encrypted storage is physically controlled by the user, the VP50 series provides much better data protection than the Internet or cloud services.

The Vault Privacy 50 supports the multi-password option (admin, user and one-time recovery) with complex or passphrase modes. This will help restore access to the data if one of the passwords is forgotten. Traditional complex mode allows passwords of 6 to 16 characters using 3 out of 4 character sets. The new Passphrase mode supports numeric PINs, sentences, word lists or even lyrics with 10 to 64 characters. The administrator can enable a user password and a one-time recovery password, or reset the user password to restore data access. To facilitate password entry, the "eye" symbol can be activated so that the entered password is displayed, WAS for fewer typos and thus reduces failed login attempts. The brute-force attack protection blocks user or one-time recovery passwords after 10 invalid, one after the other passwords and cryptography erases the USB stick after 10 times of incorrect entry.

To protect against potential malware on untrusted systems, both the administrator and the user can enable write protection for the USB stick. In addition, the integrated virtual keyboard protects passwords against key and screen loggers.

Organizations can customize and configure the VP50 series USB sticks with a product ID (PID) for integration with standard endpoint management software to meet the enterprise's IT and cybersecurity needs using Kingston's personalization program.

Small and medium businesses can use the Admin role to locally manage their USB sticks, such as configuring or resetting employee user or one-time recovery passwords, restoring data access to locked USB sticks, and complying with laws and regulations when forensic investigations are required.

The Vault Privacy 50 offers fast dual-channel performance for all storage capacities. The USB stick is waterproof as per IPX8 class, TAA compliant and mounted in the USA.
