Product Details

Designed to completely meet NIST FIPS 140-2 Level 3 requirements meaning that
the entire devices Hard drive, electronics, external fasteners, even the
enclosure itself–are included within this elevated FIPS Validation boundary.
Milled from a solid block of aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum alloy, the enclosure
also features snap-off uni-directional security fasteners and a membrane-style
keypad. Inside, all data is encrypted on the fly as it's being written to the
drive using AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption, protecting your data even if
the hard drive is extracted from its enclosure. The Aegis Fortress L3 is ready
to use Right Out of the box–no software, drivers, or updates. Completely
cross-platform compatible, the L3 excels on any PC, Mac, Linux, or mass
storage compliant system with a powered USB port. Like all Apricorn secure
drives, The L3 features forced enrollment which fixes a common security
vulnerability prevalent in other manufacturers’ encrypted drives by
eliminating factory-preset default pins. With forced enrollment, the Admin
must first establish a pin before the device can be used. All pin entries are
performed on the device's keypad making it compatible with systems without
keyboards and shares no security parameters with its host computer. The L3 has
two Read-Only modes: perfect for accessing data on the drive in a public
setting to protect against USB viruses and ideal for applications that require
data to be preserved in its original, unaltered state–can’t be overwritten or
modified. Brute force Defense: after a predetermined number of consecutive
incorrect pin entries, The L3 will conclude that it is under Brute force
attack and will perform a crypto-erase – deleting the encryption key which
will render all of the drive's data useless. Configurable: create custom
profiles and mass configure multiple Aegis devices at once with Apricorn's
Aegis Configurator (sold separately).
