One of the biggest threats to security occurs when managers access their corporate systems from remote PCs, which may or may not be secure.
Currently, we are recommeding that employees of our larger clients use an IRONKEY usb flashdrive with hardware security and 128 digit encryption to initiate all remote accesses.
Why?
"It starts with the onboard IronKey Password Manager. As you visit your online sites, the Password Manager will ask you if you want it to remember your usernames and passwords. These are then stored with hardware encryption on the IronKey drive.
When you wish to log back into one of your accounts, the Password Manager compares the website that you are visiting with the website where you originally entered your password. If they match, the Password Manager enters your password for you without you having to type it in. If they do not match, then you may be on a phishing site, and the Password Manager will not enter the password for you.
This gives you simple but effective protection against phishing attacks and spyware that tracks your keystrokes."

The Ironkey is very secure, very durable and well made device. It is a bit overpriced though. Security wise, you can do the same thing for under $40. Check out this article:
