Kingston Digital has introduced the next-generation IronKey Locker+ 50 G2 (LP50 G2), a hardware-encrypted USB flash drive designed to deliver enterprise-grade data protection. The new model features FIPS 197 certification and XTS-AES 256-bit hardware encryption, alongside safeguards against BadUSB threats and brute force password attacks.

Housed in a premium space grey metal casing, the LP50 G2 is built for both security and durability, while maintaining ease of use with cross-platform compatibility and no software installation required.
