Aegis Padlock SSD
AES XTS 256-bit hardware encryption, on-board keypad PIN authentication, and USB 3.1 (3.0) data transfer speeds. The PINs and Data stay encrypted while the drive is idle. The Padlock SSD works with Windows, Linux, Mac, Android, and Chrome. Also, embedded systems, machines without keyboards, and equipment with a powered USB port and storage file system thrive. The firmware is locked down to prevent any modifications, making it immune to malware attacks like BadUSB.

FIPS 140-2 Level 2 Inside
NIST FIPS 140 is the cryptography standard program required by the US federal government for the protection of sensitive data. The Aegis Fortress’s FIPS 140-2 Level 2 HDD encryption validation encompasses both the Fortress’s physical tamper-resistant features as well as its identity-based authentication.

Polymer-Coated Keypad
Drive is unlocked by entering a PIN on the keypad. By excluding the host system from the authentication process, the embedded keypad defeats all hardware and software key logging attempts. The polymer-coated prevents revealing the commonly used buttons.

Two Read-only Modes
Admin control global, all-access settings and User control individual settings. Universal Read Only is set by the admin and can’t be modified or disabled only by admin. The second read-only mode can be set and disabled by a user but can also be enabled or disabled by the admin.

Separate Admin and User Mode
Admin (Device Configuration) and User Access. Admin and User PINs are separate on the Aegis Fortress L3. The Admin mode controls the device’s universal programmable settings and requires the Admin PIN. The User mode can only read/write, unlock/lock external drives. The admin PIN can also access the drive’s data in User mode.

Admin & User Forced Enrollment
During setup, a unique PIN must be created. Before using or writing to the Fortress L3, or any other Apricorn secure drive, the admin must create a complex, unique PIN. A second user PIN can be generated to access the device’s data. This PIN can be set up by the admin during initial configuration, or by the intended user prior to using the device.

Data Recovery PINs
Restores access to drive by requiring user enrollment. It is possible for an admin to re-enrol a device in User Forced Enrollment mode if a User PIN is forgotten. It is possible to generate a new User PIN to replace an old one.

IP66 Certification
Dust and Water-Resistant Durable ABS Housing and Membrane Keypad Protecting data goes well beyond encryption. The Aegis Fortress’s resilient design makes it perfect for travel and field applications. It is tamper-evident and well protected against physical damage.

Brute-Force Defense
Select the number of consecutive invalid PIN attempts permitted (4-20) before crypto-erase. Your data is safeguarded from physical brute force attacks by a programmable “Brute Force Hack Defense Mechanism” that deletes the encryption key after unsuccessful password entries.

Unattended Auto Lock
Programmable Length of Time of Inactivity Permitted Before Drive Locks Itself. All Aegis Secure Drives will automatically lock once disconnected from a computer’s USB port or the power to that USB port is interrupted or after a pre-programmed period of inactivity.

Drive Reset Feature
Reset and re-deploy Apricorn devices. Drive reset clears both the User and Admin PINs, destroys data, creates a new randomly generated encryption key, and allows the drive to be reused indefinitely.

Self-Destruct PIN
When activated it generates a new PIN to ensure data security when the device’s physical security is compromised. it erases the drive’s contents but leaves it in working order and ready to deploy.
