Becrypt and IronKey partner for secure mobile environments

Here’s another interesting device from IronKey, this time partnering with Becrypt to implement a portable secure virtual operating system for access to corporate networks for mobile workers. The heart of the device is:
Trusted Client is a cost-effective, secure mobility solution that uses its own hardened and encrypted operating system. It solves the problem of allowing unmanaged machines to access corporate networks. The user simply inserts the IronKey with Trusted Client into their home PC, for example, re-boots, authenticates, and can then access the corporate network, applications and data safely. The host PC hard drive and operating system are not touched so that no data can leak onto the host and no malware present can infect the network.
It can be seen at the upcoming RSA Conference and Information Security Show.
On a personal note, I wish we had something like that as our corporate notebooks are so loaded with bloatware that they become unusable, and on my last business trip I had to take both the corporate notebook and my own netbook to enforce the separation between personal and business activities.
