Hard Drive

Product Description

The i Storage Desktop Secure Hard Drive is the world’s first portable hardware encrypted hard drive with PIN code access Key Features Secure access with personalised 6-16 digit PIN Rugged & portable design Encrypts all data on the fly, as fast as any USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 hard drive Utilises FIPS PUB 197 Validated Encryption Algorithm Guaranteed with 3 year warranty The i Storage Desktop Secure Hard Drive utilises military grade AES 256-bit hardware encryption, which encrypts all data stored on the drive in real time. Should the drive be lost or stolen, the user can rest assured that all data held on the drive is safe & cannot be accessed by any unauthorised third party, even if the hard drive is removed from its enclosure. What is disk Ashur DT? The i Storage Desktop Secure Hard Drive is the world’s first portable hardware encrypted hard drive with PIN code access & capacities of up to 3TB. The i Storage Desktop Secure Hard Drive utilises military grade AES 256-bit hardware encryption, which encrypts all data stored on the drive in real time. Should the drive be lost or stolen, the user can rest assured that all data held on the drive is safe & cannot be accessed by any unauthorised third party, even if the hard drive is removed from its enclosure. Why the disk Ashur DT? Did you know that tens of millions of external data storage devices are lost every year & this figure is rising. Have you ever considered the impact of losing your non-encrypted hard drive or USB (Universal Serial Bus) flash memory key? Your data would be at the mercy of anyone who stumbles across it. Your personal videos may appear on You Tube, your business data sent to a competitor, your personal & financial information used for fraudulent purposes. The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) now has the power to fine businesses & government bodies up to £500, 000 for serious breaches of the Data Protection Act. This

Includes:: the loss of an unencrypted portable hard drive or USB (Universal Serial Bus) flash memory key that contains customer data. The ICO has been very clear in advising businesses to encrypt all data that workers access, they also recognise that data which is encrypted & lost or stolen is not vulnerable to compromise. Loss of confidential data can have a devastating effect on both businesses & consumers. It could lead to a hefty fine, the downfall of a business, embarrassment, job losses & adverse media focus. The i Storage Desktop Secure Hard Drive can protect you against all of this. What is the difference between software & hardware encryption? Software encryption: Complex passwords can be cracked easily & quickly with a Brute Force Attack Simple password cracking software is readily available on the internet, often free of charge Software encryption is vulnerable to key loggers Â- where every key pressed is logged in either a software or hardware key logger Software encryption can be corrupted by viruses Software encryption is much slower when compared to hardware encryption Software encryption needs to be installed on each computer that the external storage device is used on Software encryption shares computers resources to encrypt data with other programs on the computer, making it only as safe as your computer. Hardware encryption: The disk Ashur DT cannot be brute force attacked The disk Ashur DT is not vulnerable to key-loggers as the PIN is entered on the unit rather than the keyboard The disk Ashur DT does not require any software & can be used on any PC, MAC or Linux machine Encryption is performed in real-time thus there is no speed degradation No software or drivers are required Utilizes Military Grade FIPS PUB 197 Validated Encryption Algorithm Featuring your choice of AES-128 or 256-bit hardware encryption, the IStorage disk Ashur DT seamlessly encrypts all data on the drive in real-time, keeping your data safe even if the hard drive is removed from its enclosure. Software Free Design Â- With no admin rights to contend with the IStorage disk Ashur DT is a breeze to implement With no software installation required for setup or operation & the ability to run on any platform, the IStorage disk Ashur DT provides stress free deployment in corporate environments. Its Administrator Feature allows enrolment of up to five unique user IDÂ’s & one administrator, making it a useful business collaboration tool. Superfast USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 Connection Â- Data transfer speeds up to 10X faster than USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2.0 With a super speed USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 interface, you can now access your files faster than ever before. The IStorage disk Ashur DT is also backwards compatible with USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2.0 & 1.1 ports. Data at Rest Protection All data, PINs, & encryption keys are always encrypted while at rest. Sealed from Physical Attacks by Tough Epoxy Coating In addition to encrypting all of the PINs, data & the encryption key itself, the IStorage disk Ashur DT adds another barrier between a between your data & a hacker. The encryption chip & circuitry of the IStorage disk Ashur DT are completely protected by a super tough epoxy compound, which is virtually impossible to remove without causing permanent damage to the electronics. This barrier prevents a potential hacker from accessing the encryption circuitry & launching a variety of potential attacks. Brute Force Self Destruct Feature The IStorage disk Ashur DT 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 DT assumes it is being attacked & will destroy the encryption key & lock itself, rendering the data useless & requiring a total reset to redeploy the IStorage disk Ashur DT. Auto Lock feature The IStorage disk Ashur DT auto lock feature enables you to set the unattended drive to lock after a pre-determined amount of time of your choosing. Wear Resistant Key Pad Designed with protection in mind, the entire Aegis Padlock family incorporates ‘wear resistantÂ’ keypads to hide key usage & avoid tipping off a potential hacker to the commonly used keys. VTC Technology Protection against hacker attempts doesnÂ’t stop with Brute Force. Incorporated into the Aegis PadlockÂ’s electronics is ApricornÂ’s Variable Time Circuit (VTC) technology, working to thwart “timing attacks” aimed at accessing the drive by studying the behaviour & infiltrating the PadlockÂ’s electronics. High Quality Aluminium, Heat Dissipating Enclosure The IStorage disk Ashur DT robust design has a solid aluminium enclosure which is ideal for whisking away heat from the rotating drive inside.
