The drive will automatically lock down its content once the key is unplugged, or power is shut off. And without the access key, data will not be seen or accessed in the event of theft or loss of the external drive. Data stored on the hard drive are safeguarded by hardware-based National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) certified industrial strength AES (Advanced Encryption standard) cryptographic engine. The advantage of hardware encryption over software encryption is that you need not be concerned about Trojans/viruses or software upgrades, which results in a decrease of total cost of ownership. Since CipherShield encrypts data independent of the operating system; removing the drive and connecting it directly to the SATA BUS will not defeat the encryption. Unit is bundled with two keys and registration is required for key duplication. SSD drives inside for durability and shock resistanceNIST FIPS 140-2 Level 2 compliant AES hardware encryption with 256-bit encryption2 stage cascade AES 256-bit equals to 512-bit encryptionConforms to HIPAA regulation regarding patient privacy and to Sarbanes-Oxley regarding corporate financial and accounting practiceCipherShield Smart Insert technology with CipherKey to authenticate the driveFDE (Full Disk Encryption) encrypt whole driveReal time “on-the-fly” encryption without any performance degradationFaster, easier to use, and provide a better security than software encryptionOperates independently to the OS: does not require separate driversEncryption key is on the removable hardware key; can be removed and stored away to prevent unauthorized accessPlug and play; no complicated installationUSB 2.0: Up to 480 Mbits/sUSB 3.0: Up to 5 Gbits/seSATA: Up to 3.0 Gbits/sDrive: Pre-formatted NTFS SATA Drive (can be reformatted for Mac or Linux) Overview Specifications Contact Us CipherShield design features a chip embedded in the access key which matches the AES encryption module on the controller board.
