Kingston IronKey D500S is World’s First and Only TAA-Compliant, FIPS 140-3 Level 3 Hardware-Encrypted Drive with Trusted Supply Chain

Australia – July 17, 2025 – Kingston Digital, Inc., the Flash memory affiliate of Kingston Technology Company, Inc., a world leader in memory products and technology solutions, announces today its award-winning Kingston IronKey™ D500S hardware-encrypted USB flash drive has received NIST FIPS 140-3 Level 3 validation. Designed and assembled by Kingston in California, D500S is the world’s first and only FIPS 140-3 Level 3 validated drive with a TAA-compliant and trusted supply chain.

When the IronKey D500S was being designed in 2020, the business goal was to make it a best-in-class hardware-encrypted drive with XTS-AES 256-bit encryption and the newest NIST security standard, FIPS 140-3 Level 3. But, an additional goal was to also go beyond TAA-compliance, which only verifies the legally-declared Country Of Origin (COO). The D500S was designed to ensure that all its critical components and assembly processes fully meet TAA and CMMC compliance requirements.

Critical drive components include the following:

  • Secure Microprocessor managing all encryption and authentication processes
  • Digitally-signed firmware for the Secure Microprocessor
  • Drive software launcher, which includes multi-password authentication and feature setting
  • NAND Flash storage chips
  • Assembly of the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) with all critical components
  • Encasing the PCB assembly and injecting epoxy in the rugged casing to comply with FIPS 140-3 Level 3 anti-tampering protection

All critical drive components were directly sourced by Kingston from TAA-compliant and trusted suppliers, and stocked in the secured Kingston Manufacturing Center in California, USA to ensure drive assembly is done in tightly controlled, engineering supervised processes. D500S will also have matching internal and external serial numbers for asset tracking and endpoint management.

“We went over-and-above competitors in the USB data protection industry to ensure that the IronKey D500S is an unrivaled best-in-class FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certified drive for securing data-at-rest and meeting stringent government and military standards worldwide,” said Kingston. “With a trusted supply chain supporting CMMC and TAA compliance, along with design and assembly at Kingston’s USA headquarters, D500S stands out as the most security-focused USB drive on the market—delivering unmatched assurance for customers who require the highest level of trusted data protection.”

D500S also has the industry’s first dual-partition option on a hardware-encrypted USB drive with multiple passwords. This allows Admin to create two custom-sized secure partitions for Admin and User, for a Hidden File Store that can be used to provision files to the User partition as needed. When using untrusted systems or sharing the drive, the Hidden File Stores keep data secure and invisible unless accessed through proper authentication.

Other advanced features include the capabilities of an Admin to set a Global Read-Only mode until reset, as well as to enter a Crypto-Erase password that will destroy the data and reset the drive to prevent unauthorized access in compromising situations. D500S also features a rugged zinc casing which meets military-grade shock, vibration and drop test specifications1 with IP67 dust and water resistance rating2.

D500S offers fully customizable features and functionality to meet your organization’s specific needs, with capacities up to 512GB3 and backed by a 5-year warranty and free technical support. For more information, visit kingston.com/ironkey.

1. MIL-STD-810F certified for mechanical shock, vibration and drop tests.

2. Please refer to datasheet’s specification. Product must be clean and dry before use.

3. Some of the listed capacity on a Flash storage device is used for formatting and other functions and thus is not available for data storage. As such, the actual available capacity for data storage is less than what is listed on the products. For more information, go to Kingston’s Flash Memory Guide.

July 17, 2025 – Ubisoft announces the next step in the roadmap of its new subsidiary – introduced on March 27th – with the appointment of Christophe Derennes and Charlie Guillemot as co-CEOs. With complementary backgrounds, Christophe Derennes and Charlie Guillemot bring strong industry expertise, deep knowledge of the Ubisoft ecosystem, and a shared culture of innovation.

Christophe Derennes has been with Ubisoft for over 35 years. He brings extensive operational and production leadership, having launched and led the Montreal studio.

Together, they will lead the subsidiary in building evergreen, multi-platform game ecosystems and writing the next chapter of Ubisoft’s renowned franchises.

Created to accelerate the growth of three of Ubisoft’s most iconic franchises – Assassin’s Creed, Rainbow Six, and Far Cry – the company’s new subsidiary will focus on building brand ecosystems capable of becoming evergreen, billion-euro franchises. Backed by growing investments and Tencent’s expertise as a core strategic partner, it will give development teams greater autonomy and agility to fully unlock the potential of these iconic games, while shaping the next generation of player experiences.

The creation of the new subsidiary is progressing well. Tencent’s investment in the new subsidiary, which is subject to regulatory approvals, continue to be expected by the end of 2025.

Update 2.3 for Cyberpunk 2077 arrives July 17 alongside Ultimate Edition launch on Mac!

CD PROJEKT RED today revealed the contents of a free update coming to Cyberpunk 2077 tomorrow alongside the release of Ultimate Edition on Mac. Update 2.3 introduces AutoDrive, the Delamain taxi service, new quests, vehicles, expanded Photo Mode features, and more!

Snapshot:.

  • Like Update 2.2, Update 2.3 was developed in partnership with Virtuos.
  • Players can use AutoDrive and the Delamain taxi service to reach their destinations automatically.
  • Other additions include new quests, new vehicles and a swathe of Photo Mode features.
  • More information about the update was shared in a REDstreams episode.

Update 2.3 is the latest free update for Cyberpunk 2077, yet again the result of close collaboration between CD PROJEKT RED and Virtuos, and brings new ways to traverse the streets of Night City.

Players can now sit back and relax and let their vehicle do the work. While driving an owned vehicle, it is now possible to choose or create a map marker and enable AutoDrive to navigate to the destination completely hands-free. Night City’s premier driverless taxi service is fully operational now too thanks to the ability to summon a Delamain cab, choose a destination, and then let Delamain chauffeur players to their destination — for an appropriate eurodollar fee, of course. While using either means of transport, various cinematic camera angles can also be enjoyed, allowing passengers to take in Night City in a whole new light.

For those who prefer to take the wheel themselves, brand new vehicles have also been added with Update 2.3 in the form of a motorcycle and three new cars — including the brand-new Yaiba Semimaru from the Cyberpunk 2077: Kickdown comic! These vehicles can be unlocked by completing associated quests.

A plethora of new settings and customization options have also been added to Photo Mode. It is now possible to customize the weather and time of day to obtain the perfect shot, while also choosing from a greater selection of NPCs, outfits, and poses. New stickers and frames have also been added, and players now can now customize how NPCs look at the camera during shooting, with greater control over heads, eyes, and shoulders during any pose, bringing deeper command over every shot.

In addition, new technology features have been added with Update 2.3, including VRR support consoles, AMD FSR4 support, AMD FSR 3.1 Frame Generation, Intel XeSS 2.0, improved HDR settings, and more. All details of what’s included in this update can be found via the official patch notes.

Update 2.3 arrives July 17 for Cyberpunk 2077 and Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Apple silicon Mac models, 16GB+. The update will arrive on Nintendo Switch 2 at a later date.
