Apricorn has announced capacity updates for its Aegis Secure Key 3NX line, offering flash drive devices that range from 4GB to 512GB.

The company reports devices in the line are highly secure and simple to use, with varieties available in both A and C connectors, meaning users can encrypt data from next-gen devices like smartphones, laptops, docks and tablets.

The entire Aegis Secure Key NX line is FIPS 140-2 level 3 validated (certification #3943) by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

This level of certification serves to authorise a device’s use in regulated industries and institutions – healthcare, finance, defence and legal; both nationally and globally – in compliance with stringent data security regulations such as HIPAA, FERPA, Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and GDPR.

Apricorn’s robust solution

“In today’s increasingly complex regulatory landscape, organisations are facing mounting pressure to protect sensitive data, especially with a growing mobile workforce,” said Kurt Markley, Managing Director, Americas at Apricorn.

“The expanded capacity of our Aegis Secure Key series provides a robust solution for safeguarding this information, enabling compliance with stringent regulations while encrypting critical data on the move.

“This ensures data privacy whether employees are in the office or working remotely.”

Constantly evolving threats

All devices in the Aegis Secure Key NX series come standard with AegisWare, Apricorn’s proprietary firmware and feature set which was developed to address constantly evolving security threats and business needs for highly regulated sectors such as government, defence, finance, manufacturing and healthcare.

The FIPS 140-2 level 3 validation certifies a device’s use in industries and institutions operating with stringent data security regulations.

Additionally, all internal componentry is protected from physical tampering with a layer of hardened epoxy and locked-down firmware brings immunity to malware attacks.
