Leading Innovators in 256-Bit Hardware-Encrypted USB Drives

Apricorn’s innovative approach to 256-bit internal and portable HDD encryption is valuable for verticals that require data security regulations (e.g., finance, healthcare, education, and insurance.) For governments, Apricorn encrypted USB drives and devices established the bar for data security in North America and elsewhere.

This is because Apricorn Aegis drives are encrypted and authenticated solely by their onboard keypad and internal hardware. Your secrets are secure with us as we continue to develop new technologies to defend against current and future threats.

THE APRICORN ADVANTAGE: AEGISWARE™

The heart and soul of every Apricorn Secure Device, our patent-protected hardware-centric / software-free approach to data security is the best defense against data loss by eliminating the most commonly used attack vectors.

This same software-free method also provides complete cross-platform compatibility with any OS or embedded equipment possessing a USB port and file storage system e.g., medical diagnostic devices, military equipment, machinery, etc.
