USING THE IRONKEY CONTROL PANEL (WINDOWS AND MAC)
# Step Description
1 Creating, editing, deleting secure
les
When you click “Secure Files” in the IronKey Control
Panel, the default browser on your computer opens
directly to your secure volume.
All les on your IronKey are strongly encrypted with
military-grade AES encryption. Encrypting les is as
simple as moving them into the secure volume. Dragging
les onto your desktop decrypts them on-the-y in
hardware. The IronKey gives you the convenience of
working as you normally would with a regular ash drive,
while providing strong and “always-on” security.
2 Updating device rmware/software The IronKey can securely update its software and
rmware through signed updates that are veried in
hardware. This allows users to keep their devices up-to-
date and protect themselves from future malware and
online threats.
To check for available updates, click the “Check for
Updates” button (Windows) or “Check Now” button
(Mac).
Windows: If an update is available, you can download and
install it by clicking the “Download Update” button.
Mac: You can check for and download policy updates.
However, you must download software updates on a
Windows computer.

location for:
» Launching secure applications
» Securely logging into my.ironkey.com
» Conguring your IronKey settings
» Updating your device
» Changing your IronKey password
» Safely locking your device
» Getting online help
Most of the Control Panel’s options
are located in the “Settings” menu.

IronKey Control Panel is shown.
