Apricorn Aegis Padlock DT FIPS external hard drive 2 TB Black

The perfect desktop storage innovation for your most sensitive information. the Padlock DT FIPS delivers the ultimate data security in a wide variety of storage capacities. Software-Free. 100% hardware-based 256-bit AES XTS encrypted. onboard keypad PIN authenticated. and ultra-fast USB 3.2 (3.0) data transfer speeds. All Data is encrypted on the fly and the device’s PINs and Data remain encrypted while the drive is at rest. Completely cross-platform compatible and OS agnostic; the Padlock DT FIPS thrives with Windows. Linux. Mac. Android. and Chrome. It also thrives where software-based encrypted devices can't function such as embedded systems. diagnostic machinery. and equipment in possession of a powered USB port and storage file system. All internal componentry is protected from physical tampering with a layer of hardened epoxy. and its firmware is locked down. preventing any modifications which make it immune to malware attacks such as BadUSB.The heart and soul of every Apricorn Secure Device. AegisWare is our patent-protected firmware combined with the industry’s most advanced feature set.Meets the U.S. government standards for information technology and computer security. NIST FIPS 140 is the cryptography standard program required by the US federal government for protection of sensitive data.The Aegis Padlock DT’s FIPS 140-2 validation covers 11 areas of its cryptographic security system. including physical security. cryptographic key management and design integrity. The Aegis Padlock DT’s FIPS 140-2 Level 2 encryption validation encompasses both the Padlock DT’s physical tamper-resistant features as well as its identity-based authentication. Tested and validated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for use by the Federal governments of the USA. Canada and others. the Aegis Padlock DT Drive is based on Apricorn’s FIPS 140-2 Level 2 validated encryption module as indicated by certificate #3944. The epoxy coated boundary includes all encryption functions and all Critical Security Parameters (CSPs) such as PIN storage. encryption key generation and storage. random number and seed generators. and all firmware storage. The FIPS module is a complete encryption system. and all CSPs never leave the boundary and are never shared with a host system. By design. the HDD/SSD that stores the encrypted data is excluded from this boundary to both maximize affordability and product line flexibility in capacity and form factor offerings.Windows-Based App that Quickly Sets Up Multiple Devices Simultaneously. Create custom profiles and mass configure multiple devices in a matter of seconds using the Aegis Configurator. To configure an expanded number of devices. use the Powered Aegis Configurator Hub bundle.Admin (Device Configuration) Mode and User Access Mode. The Aegis Padlock DT FIPS supports one independent Admin and up to four User PINs. The Admin mode controls the universal programmable settings of the device and can only be accessed with the Admin PIN. The User mode is limited to basic external drive functions like read /write. unlock / lock. etc. The data on the drive can also be accessed with the admin PIN in the User mode.Drive is Unlocked by Entering a PIN on Keypad and not the Host Computer’s Keyboard. Until the device is unlocked via its keypad. it remains invisible to the host. The embedded keypad circumvents all hardware and software key logging attempts to capture passwords by excluding the host system from the authentication process. Polymer-coated buttons are wear-resistant and designed to not reveal most commonly used buttons.Unique PIN Must be Established at Time of Setup. Eliminates Factory Default PIN Vulnerability. Out of the box. there are no factory pre-set default PINs. In order to set up and use the drive. a unique PIN must first be established by the Admin. from within the Admin mode.Admin Can Program Device at Setup Requiring User to Establish a Unique PIN. Once a device is configured by the Admin. it can then be deployed in a state of USER FORCED ENROLLMENT in which the User must first establish his or her own User PIN before the drive can be accessed or used.Global. All Access Settings Controlled by Admin. and User Mode Controlling Individual Settings. Employed in situations that require the drive’s contents to be kept intact and unaltered for later examination. The two Read-Only modes are as follows: Universal Read Only is set by the admin from within the admin mode and can’t be modified or disabled by anyone but the admin. The second read-only mode can be set and disabled by a user but can also be enabled or disabled by the admin as well.Global. All Access Settings Controlled by Admin. and User Mode Controlling Individual Settings. Employed in situations that require the drive’s contents to be kept intact and unaltered for later examination. The two Read-Only modes are as follows: Universal Read Only is set by the admin from within the admin mode and can’t b
