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.Drives 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.Additionally 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.Easy-to-use KeyPad. Software Free Design and Ability to Work on ANY Operating System makes Corporate Deployment a BreezeWith an easy-to-use keypad design and software free setup. the Aegis Padlock Fortress 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.Utilizes Military Grade FIPS PUB 197 Validated Encryption AlgorithmFeaturing 256-bit AES-XTS hardware encryption. the Aegis Padlock Fortress 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.Software Free Design – With no admin rights to contend withSetup takes just minutes. With no software installation required for setup or operation and the ability to run on any platform. the Aegis Padlock Fortress provides stress free deployment in corporate environments.Independent Admin and User PINsThe 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 Fortress requires you to create your own unique PIN at first use. ensuring a secure PIN from the get go.Drive Reset FeatureThe Aegis Padlock Fortress 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 FeatureThe unattended Aegis Padlock Fortress 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.Data at Rest protectionAll data. PINs. and encryption keys are always encrypted while at rest.Brute Force Self Destruct FeatureThe Aegis Padlock Fortress 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 Fortress 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
