IronKey Helps Secure Royal Marsden Hospital Data

Royal Marsden Provides Healthcare Professionals with Secure USB Flash Drives - Vital to Carry Research Securely

LOS ALTOS, California, December 16 - IronKey, maker of the world's most secure flash drives, today announced
that it is providing The Royal Marsden Hospital with its secure, managed USB
flash drives to protect data in transit. The Royal Marsden encourages its
staff to avoid carrying data on portable devices unless absolutely necessary.
To avoid any ambiguity when they do, its policy states that it must be on an
IronKey.

The Royal Marsden is committed to promoting excellence in cancer
research, treatment and education. Alongside its academic partner, The
Institute of Cancer Research, it is a leader in the field, and is at the
forefront of many major cancer breakthroughs. Important data and documents
need to be transported and shared, and inevitably will be carried on an
IronKey. To date, it has received nearly 300 devices with additional IronKeys
expected before the end of the year.

IronKey's secure USB drives have been validated for FIPS 140-2, Level 3
certification. IronKey provides malware protection, hardware encryption,
privacy protection, comprehensive device management capabilities and a
ruggedized, tamperproof enclosure suitable for extreme conditions.

The Royal Marsden's IT Director, Jon Reed said, "We looked at all the
leading secure USB drives and IronKey stood out for us on a number of key
criteria: its centrally-based policy management, the ability to remotely
disable a device, and that they self destruct following a set number of
failed login attempts. Our users can't bypass the encryption, and the
physical strength of it looks credible. We have a whole program around
information security and the IronKey is one facet, and a vital one."

As part of a larger contract awarded to IronKey's elite partner in the
UK, Complete Source, The Royal Marsden will utilize the IronKey certified RSA
SecurID Ready software to consolidate encrypted mobile storage and strong
two-factor authentication into a single device, enabling easier secure
connections to its infrastructure from remote locations. This is especially
important as The Royal Marsden is no longer confined only to its two Chelsea
and Sutton sites, since launching satellite locations around the Southeast.

Mr. Reed concluded, "If the unthinkable happened, and our data was
breached, personally I would be devastated. The damage to reputation is one
element, but far worse would be losing the trust of the individuals involved.
I have the responsibility of sourcing and purchasing solutions, and I'm not
just going to settle for the bare minimum to meet government standards. I'm
going to invest in the strongest solutions that I possibly can."
