iStorage diskAshur PRO2 256-bit 4TB USB 3.1 FIPS Level 3 certified secure encrypted solid-state drive IS-DAP2-256-SSD-4000-C-X

The diskAshur PRO2 SSD is the world's first and only NCSC CPA FIPS 140-2 Level 3 NLNCSA BSPA and NATO restricted level certified encrypted portable solid state drive.<br /><br />An easy to use ultra-secure PIN authenticated portable USB 3.1 hard drive with real-time AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption software free design super-fast data transfer speeds. The diskAshur PRO2 SSD has an easy-to-use keypad design enabling you to securely access the drive with your own unique 7-15 digit PIN and with software free setup and operation the diskAshur PRO2 SSD is platform/device independent and works across all operating systems including all versions of MS Windows macOS Linux Android Chrome Thin Clients Zero Clients and embedded systems. In fact it will work on any device with a USB port! One of the unique and underlying security features of the GDPR compliant diskAshur PRO2 SSD is the dedicated hardware-based secure microprocessor (Common Criteria EAL4+ ready) which employs built-in physical protection mechanisms designed to defend against external tamper bypass attacks and more. Unlike other solutions the diskAshur PRO2 SSD reacts to an automated attack by entering the deadlock frozen state which renders all such attacks as useless. In plain and simple terms without the PIN theres no way in!<br /><br /><b>EDGETM (Enhanced Dual Generating Encryption) Technology</b><br /><br />Offering advanced portable data security via built-in FIPS PUB 197 validated AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption engine. The data encryption key is randomly generated by a Common Criteria EAL4+ ready Random Number Generator and protected by FIPS validated wrapping algorithms. Uniquely featuring a dedicated on-board Common Criteria EAL4+ ready secure microprocessor to enhance security through true random number generation and built-in cryptography. The security component employs physical protection mechanisms to protect itself from any external tamper bypass laser attacks and fault injections and incorporates active-shield violation technology. More specifically the secure microprocessor reacts to all forms of automated hacking attempts by entering the deadlock frozen state where the device can only restart through a Power On reset procedure (i.e. power off/power on). The security lock feature protects the device against any unauthorised firmware modifications from the host side (fully protected against BadUSB). The diskAshur PRO2SSD uniquely incorporates a secure microprocessor providing secure algorithms to encrypt both the data and the encryption key giving you confidence that your data is protected to the highest standards at any given time. <br /><br /><b>FIPS PUB 197 Validated Encryption Algorithm</b><br /><br />Employing AES 256-bit XTS hardware encryption the iStorage diskAshur PRO2 SSD seamlessly encrypts all data on the drive in real-time keeping your data safe even if the hard drive is removed from its enclosure.<br /><br /><b>Super fast USB 3.1</b><br /><br />With super-fast USB 3.1 data transfer speeds of 294 MBps (Read) and 319 MBps (Write) you can now access your files faster than ever before. The iStorage diskAshur PRO2 SSD is also backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports.<br /><br /><b>Brute Force Hack Defence Mechanism</b><br /><br />The iStorage diskAshur PRO2 SSD is intelligently programmed to protect against all forms of Brute Force attacks. After five consecutive incorrect PIN entries the drive will freeze requiring the drive to be disconnected and reconnected to the USB port to get a further five PIN entry attempts. If a further five (10 in total) consecutive incorrect PIN attempts are entered again the diskAshur PRO2 SSD will freeze again. To get a further and final five PIN attempts (15 in total) the shift button must be pressed whilst inserting the USB cable into the USB port and then an iStorage preset PIN will need to be entered. On the fifteenth consecutive incorrect PIN entry the diskAshur PRO2 SSD 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.<br /><br /><b>Self Destruct Feature</b><br /><br />You can pre-program the diskAshur PRO2 SSD with your own unique Self Destruct PIN which once implemented instantly deletes the encryption key all PINs data and then creates a new encryption key.<br /><br /><b>Unattended Auto-Lock Feature</b><br /><br />Set the unattended diskAshur PRO2 SSD to automatically lock after a pre-determined amount of time where the drive has not been used.<br /><br /><b>Drive Reset Feature</b><br /><br />The iStorage diskAshur PRO2 SSD 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.<br /><br /><b>Unattended Auto-Lock Feature</b><br /><br />Set the unattended diskAshur PRO2 SSD to automatically lock after a pre-determined amount of time.<br /><br /><b>Tamper Proof and Tamper Evident Design</b><br /><br />In addition to incorporating a secure microprocessor encrypting the data and the encryption key the diskAshur PRO2 SSD adds another barrier between your data and a hacker. All the components of the diskAshur PRO2 SSD 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. Furthermore the tamper evident design of the diskAshur PRO2 SSD if breached will provide visible evidence that tampering has occurred.<br /><br /><b>Data at rest protection</b><br /><br />The iStorage diskAshur PRO2 SSD 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.<br /><br /><b>Wear Resistant Epoxy Coated Keypad</b><br /><br />Designed with protection in mind the diskAshur PRO2 SSD wear resistant epoxy coated keypad hides key usage to avoid tipping off a potential hacker to commonly used keys.<br /><br />- USB 3.1 Encrypted Portable SSD<br />- FIPS 140-2 Level 3 (US) Certified<br />- NCSC CPA (UK)<br />- NLNCSA BSPA (NL) Certified<br />- NATO Restricted level Certified<br />- AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption no software required<br />- OS & Platform independent<br />- Employs EDGE Technology
