Product Description

The USB drives from the Kingston IronKey™ Vault Privacy 50 range are high-end USB Type-A and USB Type-C®* drives that offer enterprise-level security through hardware AES 256-bit encryption certified FIPS 197 in XTS mode. It also provides protection against BadUSB with digitally signed firmware and against brute force attacks targeting passwords. The VP50 has undergone penetration testing***** for enterprise-class security. As it is encrypted storage under the physical control of the user, the VP50 series offers superior security compared to the Internet and cloud services for data backup.

The Vault Privacy 50 supports the multi-password option (admin, user, and one-time recovery) with complex or passphrase modes. This allows access to data to be recovered if one of the passwords is forgotten. The classic Complex mode allows passwords of 6 to 16 characters using 3 of the 4 character sets. The new Passphrase mode allows the use of a numeric PIN, a phrase, a list of words, or even song lyrics from 10 to 64 characters. The administrator can enable a user password and a one-time recovery password, or reset the user password to restore access to the data. To facilitate password entry, the "eye" symbol can be activated to reveal the entered password, thus reducing typos that lead to unsuccessful login attempts. Protection against brute force attacks locks the user password or one-time recovery password if 10 incorrect passwords are entered in a row, and erases the secure data from the USB drive if the admin password is entered incorrectly 10 times in a row.

To protect against potential malware on untrusted systems, the administrator and user can set the read-only mode to protect the USB drive from writing. Additionally, the built-in virtual keyboard protects passwords from keyloggers or screen recorders.

The USB drives in the VP50 series can be customized and configured with a product identifier (PID) through Kingston's customization program. This allows them to be integrated into standard endpoint management software to meet corporate IT and cybersecurity requirements.

Small and medium-sized businesses can use the Administrator role to manage their USB drives locally, for example, to configure or reset the User password or the one-time Recovery password of employees, recover access to data on locked USB drives, and comply with laws and regulations when investigations are necessary.

The Vault Privacy 50 offers high dual-channel performance across all capacities. This USB drive is waterproof with an IPX8**** rating, compliant with TAA standards, and assembled in the United States.
