Apricorn 16GB Aegis Secure Key 3Z Hardware Encrypted Secure USB 3.0 Flash Drive, Black

Apricorn's Aegis Secure Key 3Z is a remarkable data security solution that takes encryption to new levels of efficiency and affordability. Featuring software-free operation, cross-platform compatibility, and USB 3.1 speed, this encrypted drive also boasts advanced security features and Aegis Configurator compatibility.

The drive's onboard PIN authentication with 256-bit AES XTS hardware encryption ensures robust data protection. It is FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Validated, meeting the U.S. government's stringent standards for information security. This certification covers 11 critical areas, including physical security, cryptographic key management, and design integrity.

The Aegis Secure Key 3Z is designed to work seamlessly with the Aegis Configurator, a versatile application that allows administrators to configure and program multiple drives at once. Features such as Admin and User PINs, PIN lengths, user forced enrollment, read-only mode, brute force protection, and secure file loading can all be managed through this convenient tool.

One of the key advantages of the Aegis Secure Key 3Z is its software-free and OS-agnostic nature, making it compatible with any system. The drive's rechargeable battery enables pre-authentication and unlocking before it is connected to the host, effectively bypassing all key logger software and malware tactics. This onboard authentication process ensures that none of the drive's critical security parameters are ever shared with the host.

The drive can be configured with independent User and Admin PINs, making it an ideal choice for corporate and government deployments. If a user forgets their PIN, the administrator can reset it without wiping the drive's contents. The Aegis Secure Key 3Z further safeguards data with a programmable "Brute Force Hack Mechanism," which deletes the encryption key and destroys the data if an incorrect PIN is entered more than the programmed limit.

In addition to these robust security features, the Aegis Secure Key 3Z boasts several new capabilities, including user forced enrollment, two read-only modes, lock override (which keeps the drive unlocked through USB re-enumeration and reboots), one-time recovery PINs, and programmable PIN lengths.

Encased in a high-quality, rugged aluminum housing that is IP57 water and dust resistant, the Aegis Secure Key 3Z is built to withstand the demands of everyday use. Its compact and portable design makes it an ideal choice for individuals, businesses, and government agencies seeking a comprehensive and reliable data security solution.
