Beside providing you an internal password system which can helps you scramble your data to something unreadable without a correct access keys, IronKey will also Self-destruct the data if hacks attempted!

IronKey recognizes hacks by providing the 10 incorrect password inputs. Furthermore, if a hacker trying to hack the hardware instead using the password screen, Ironkey also have done a great job preventing a physical hack using their Cryptochip.

“The contents of the drive are filled with epoxy, so if a hacker tries to physically access the chips, he’d more likely damage them instead.

Even if he did get access to the memory chips, they’d be worthless without the encryption chip. Electron-shielded, even a scanning electron microscope can’t get inside.”
