Designed for professionals demanding uncompromising data security and rugged portability, it includes advanced brute force defense that locks and wipes data after 15 incorrect PIN attempts. ## Description From the manufacturer The diskAshur PRO2 USB 3.1 HDD/SSD is an ultra-secure, PIN authenticated, hardware encrypted portable hard drive / solid state drive. Using the device couldn’t be easier, simply connect the integrated cable to any computer and enter a unique 7-15-digit PIN. Government certified to the HIGHEST STANDARDS OS and platform independent No software required. Works on any device with a USB port! Compatible with: macOS, iPadOS, Windows, Linux, Chrome OS, Android, Thin Clients, Zero Clients, Embedded System, Citrix and VMware Tamper proof design All of the components of the drive are completely covered by a layer of super tough epoxy resin, which is virtually impossible to remove without causing permanent damage to the components. This barrier prevents a potential hacker from accessing the critical components and launching a variety of futile attacks. Brute Force Hack Defence Mechanism After 15 consecutive incorrect PIN entries, the drive assumes it is being attacked and will delete the encryption key and lock itself, rendering all data previously stored on the drive as lost forever. At this point the drive can be reset to factory default settings and redeployed. On-device Crypto-chip One of the unique security features of the diskAshur PRO2 is the dedicated onboard secure microprocessor (Common Criteria EAL5+ certified) to enhance security through true random number generation and built-in cryptography. The data encryption key is protected by FIPS and Common Criteria validated wrapping algorithms. Wear resistant epoxy coated keypad Designed with protection in mind, the diskAshur PRO2 wear resistant epoxy coated keypad hides key usage to avoid tipping off a potential hacker to commonly used keys. Safeguard your valuable and sensitive data The diskAshur PRO2 securely encrypts, stores and protects data to ensure compliance with stringent regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA & CCPA. Review: Solid and Secure( they say ) - Solidly built. And that say very secure. Only criticism I have is numbers and letters in keys should be all in white as difficult to see in half light. Of course if the encryption system fails or the disk fails then you lost all your data so you will need an equally secure backup. Review: Died peacefully after a short life - RIP little buddy, the keypad gave up the ghost and buttons wouldn't work after just a few presses. Gone before we knew ya. ## Features - Warning:Toy inside. Adult supervision recommended - Perfect solution to protect your digital assets. Simply enter a 7-15 digit PIN to authenticate and use as a normal USB flash drive. When the drive is disconnected, all data is encrypted using AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption (Software Free) - Government certified – The diskAshur PRO2 has been certified to FIPS 140-2 Level 3. The diskAshur PRO2 helps you ensure compliance with data regulations such as GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA - The Perfect solution for storing your personal/company data.
