Apricorn Aegis Padlock - SSD

Where super tough meets ultra secure you’ll find the Aegis Padlock SSD. Boasting a crush resistant, aluminum enclosure that is water resistant and impervious to dust and grit, this secure USB 3.0 solid state drive is as tough as they come.\nClocking Speeds of over 200MB/s Apricorn’s Next Generation USB 3.0 Encrypted Solid State Drive Fuses FIPS 140-2 Hardware Data Protection with a Rugged Design\n\nWith no moving parts, this drive is drop and vibration resistant, unaffected by high humidity and works in extremes of temperature. Invincible to key logging attacks, you access the drive with your own unique PIN via an onboard keypad. Certified to NIST FIPS 140-2 Level 2 requirements, this drive is tested on 11 cryptographic levels. All data on the drive is protected with real-time hardware AES-XTS 256-bit encryption, and with no software required for installation or operation this drive needs no ADMIN rights. Combine this with a USB 3.0 integrated cable and SSD performance, and you have one powerful drive.\n\nWhy use a Solid State Drive?\n• 5X Greater Life Expectancy than Premium Rotational Drives\n• Works in extreme temperatures\n• Freezing temps of 40°F (40°C) below 0\n• Searing temps of up to 158°F (70°C)\n• Unaffected by high humidity\n• Works in 95% humidity at temps under 131°F (55°C)\n• Virtually shock and vibration resistant\n• Rated to: Shock 1500G/0.5ms, Vibration 20G/20-2000Hz\n• With no moving parts, the Aegis Padlock is completely silent\n\nFIPS 140-2 Level 2 Validated\nTested and Validated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the Aegis Padlock SSD is validated to meet the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 Level 2 specification. FIPS 140-2 validation is the cryptography standard required by the US federal government for protection of sensitive data. It covers 11 areas of its cryptographic security system, including physical security, cryptographic key management and design integrity.\n\nDrives Validated to the FIPS 140-2 specification are required to be used by U.S. government branches as well as civilian companies in the US, Canada and the United Kingdom that contract to the US government.\n\nAdditionally governments and public companies worldwide in the education, healthcare, and financial services industries have adopted using FIPS 140-2 validated drives as the regulations requiring their use is continuously expanding. Enterprises that wish to use the strongest encryption available have also adopted using FIPS 140-2 drives as it’s widely known how stringent the testing is to receive this level of certification.\n\nEasy-to-use KeyPad, Software Free Design and Ability to Work on ANY Operating System makes Corporate Deployment a Breeze\nWith an easy-to-use keypad design and software free setup, the Aegis Padlock SSD Secure Drive enables you to access the drive with your own unique PIN. The embedded keypad prevents hardware and software key logging attempts to capture your password entered via the host system.\n\nUtilizes Military Grade FIPS PUB 197 Validated Encryption Algorithm\nFeaturing 256-bit AES-XTS hardware encryption, the Aegis Padlock SSD seamlessly encrypts all data on the drive in real-time, keeping your data safe even if the solid state drive is removed from its enclosure.\n\nSoftware Free Design – With no admin rights to contend with\nSetup takes just minutes. With no software installation required for setup or operation and the ability to run on any platform, the Aegis Padlock SSD provides stress free deployment in corporate environments.\n\nIndependent Admin and User PINs\nThe Aegis Padlock can be configured with independent Admin and User PINs. The Administrator Feature allows enrollment of up to five unique User ID’s and one Administrator, making it a useful business collaboration tool. If the User forgets their PIN, the drive can be unlocked using the Admin PIN. With its Forced Enrollment feature, the Aegis Padlock SSD requires you to create your own unique PIN at first use, ensuring a secure PIN from the get go.\n\nDrive Reset Feature\nThe Aegis Padlock SSD also employs a useful drive reset feature, which can be implemented with a unique command. This clears all PINs and data, and creates a new randomly generated encryption key, enabling the drive to be reset and redeployed as many times as needed.\n\nAuto-lock Feature\nThe unattended Aegis Padlock SSD can be configured to lock after a pre-determined amount of time of your choosing. Ideal for protecting your data when you’re away from your desk.\n\nData at Rest protection\nAll data, PINs, and encryption keys are always encrypted while at rest.\n\nBrute Force Self Destruct Feature\nThe Aegis Padlock SSD uses a three pronged approach to protect against a Brute Force attack. The first step is to deny access to the drive until the drive can verify the user PIN. After several incorrect attempts the drive will lock itself, requiring the drive to be plugged in again to input a PIN. This feature blocks automated attempts to enter PIN numbers. Lastly, after a predetermined number of failed PIN entries, the Padlock SSD assumes it is being attacked and will destroy the encryption key and lock itself, rendering the data useless and requiring a total reset to redeploy the Padlock SSD.\n\nSealed from Physical Attacks by Tough Epoxy Coating\nIn addition to encrypting all of the PINs, data and the encryption key itself, the Aegis Padlock adds another barrier between a between your data and a hacker. The encryption chip and circuitry of the Aegis Padlock are completely protected by a super tough epoxy compound, which is virtually impossible to remove without causing permanent damage to the electronics. This barrier prevents a potential hacker from accessing the encryption circuitry and launching a variety of potential attacks.\n\nVTC (Variable Timing Circuit) Technology\nProtection against hacker attempts doesn’t stop with Brute Force. Incorporated into the Aegis Padlock SSD electronics is Apricorn’s Variable Time Circuit (VTC) technology, working to thwart “timing attacks” aimed at accessing the drive by studying the behavior and infiltrating the Padlock’s electronics.\n\nWear Resistant Key Pad - Water & Dust Resistant\nDesigned with protection in mind, the entire Aegis Padlock SSD family incorporates ‘wear resistant’ keypads to hide key usage and avoid tipping off a potential hacker to the commonly used keys.\n\nCrush Resistant Case\nThe enclosure is constructed from durable, light weight aluminum.\n\nCrush Resistant Case and Compact, Rugged Design\nPerfect for taking your data on the road, the Aegis Padlock SSD enclosure is constructed from durable, light weight aluminum. The Aegis Padlock SSD low powered design and virtually indestructible construction is perfect for using with notebooks and taking your data on the road. Perfectly pocketable, the Aegis Padlock SSD compact, robust design features a convenient integrated USB cable; eliminating the need to carry around cords and allows you to be connected at the flick of a fingertip.\n\nSuper fast USB 3.0 Connection – Data transfer speeds up to 10X faster than USB 2.0\nWith USB 3.0 data transfer rates up to ten times faster than traditional USB 2.0 drives, the Aegis Padlock SSD superfast performance is comparable to that of your computer’s internal drive, enabling you transfer large files in seconds or quickly backup an entire system. The Aegis Padlock SSD is also backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports.
