Product features
FIPS 140-2 Level 2 validated
The Aegis Padlock Fortress 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.Military grade encryption
Featuring AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption, the Aegis Padlock seamlessly encrypts all data on the drive in real-time, keeping your data safe even if the hard drive is removed from its enclosure.Data at rest protection
All data, PINs, and encryption keys are always encrypted while at rest.Drive reset feature
The Aegis Padlock 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.Auto lock feature and self destruct PIN
With the Aegis Padlock FIPS you can set the unattended drive to lock after a pre-determined amount of time. In addition you can pre-program your own unique Self Destruct PIN which, once implemented, instantly destroys all PINs, data and creates a new encryption key.Brute force protection
The Aegis Padlock 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 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.Wear resistant key pad - water and dust resistant
Designed with protection in mind, the Aegis Padlock's 'wear resistant' keypad and case is impervious to dust, grit and water, and hides key usage to avoid tipping off a potential hacker to the commonly used keys.Integrated USB 3.0 cable
Never forget your cables again. Connect the drive at the flick of a fingertip.Key selling points
