Turn Any Computer into a Trusted Workstation with IronKey Workspace MWES Edition.

Work anywhere, without compromising data.

Employees can securely work remotely from home or on the road. Just plug the Workspace device into any USB-equipped PC, reboot and authenticate, and the IronKey Workspace MWES Edition software transforms that computer into your employees’ own personal workspace.

Deliver the best user experience

A direct boot of Microsoft Windows ensures widespread adoption and user satisfaction, delivering a normal desktop experience without the performance drag of desktop virtualization.

Meet the toughest security requirements

Rely on hardware that meets the demanding regulatory requirements of Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2, Level 3*. A portable security processor locks down content and shields the desktop from even the most hostile environments, preventing tampering, intrusion and piracy.

Protect workers with full isolation and traceless departure

After authentication, the Workspace computing environment is fully isolated from both malware and data leakage. When finished, the portable desktop environment leaves with the user, and no trace of their presence remains.

Recover from disasters quickly

When severe weather, health quarantines, or even terrorism threaten normal systems, use IronKey Workspace MWES Edition preconfigured portable work environments to keep people working.

Equip temporary workers with confidence

Contractors and other workers can use your environment on their own systems, and have this environment revoked remotely at any time.

Support separate desktop environments

Even when regulatory or security requirements demand that different tasks be completed in separate work environments, IronKey Workspace MWES Edition lets you do it all from a single computer.

Manage centrally, protect globally

Rely on the IronKey ACCESS™ Enterprise device management system to efficiently enforce security and data use policies from a central server. Broadly deploy USB desktops and police their use with the IronKey Workspace MWES Edition’s deployment tools and IronKey ACCESS™ Enterprise management platform.

Key features include:

Easy, rapid deployment.Retain full control of the desktop image, allowing OS hardening, component addition/removal, and application installation. Transfer across thousands of devices quickly and easily.

Flexible policy enforcement. Active Directory integration lets you enforce policies both internally and over the Internet.

Tailored environments. Tailor security policies and device behavior to different user needs. Adjust authentication policies ― password complexity rules, retry limits and more ― to the needs of each group of users.

Advanced reporting.  Make it easier to meet audit and compliance requirements by logging and storing a complete history of administrative activities for each device.

OPTIONAL FEATURES

Extend the value of IronKey Workspace MWES Edition with optional features.

 
Crossover storage.
Boost user productivity with devices that optionally carry a separate, secure storage partition.  Exchange data between an IronKey Workspace MWES Edition desktop and other computing environments– no second USB device required.
