The University of Sunderland have selected IronKey portable USB devices as their main security solution.

Dave Hartis of the university’s IT department said,

“Whatever system we chose it had to be simple to use and satisfy a broad range of users’ needs, from learning support and technical support staff to academics. From a management view, our corporate governance team needed the confidence to know that we had the highest possible levels of encryption (especially with the recent high-profile public sector data breaches).

“The system offers the ability to monitor and if necessary terminate the devices centrally, meaning that the data is securely dissolved. Not only is it extremely robust but it looks good and stands out from any other USB stick so it makes it easier to control any rogue devices coming into the system.”
