Buslink CipherShield CSX4TSSDU3 4, 4TB, Removing The Drive And Connecting IT Directly TO The SATA BUS Will Not Defeat The Encryption Unit IS Bundled With

Buslink CipherShield CSX4TSSDU3 4 TB Desktop Solid State Drive - External - SATA

CipherShield design features a chip embedded in the access key which matches the AES encryption module on the controller board. The drive will automatically lock down its content once the key is unplugged, or the power is shut off. And without the access key, data will not be seen or accessed in the event of theft or loss of the external drive. Data stored on the hard drive are safeguarded by a hardware-based National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) certified industrial strength AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) cryptographic engine. The advantage of hardware encryption over software encryption is that you need not be concerned about Trojans/viruses or software upgrades, which results in a decrease in the total cost of ownership. Since CipherShield encrypts data independent of the operating system; removing the drive and connecting it directly to the SATA BUS will not defeat the encryption. Unit is bundled with two keys and registration is required for key duplication.

• Operates independently to the OS: does not require separate drivers


• The encryption key is on the removable hardware key; can be removed and stored away to prevent unauthorized access


• Faster, easier to use, and provide better security than software encryption


• Real-time "on-the-fly" encryption without any performance degradation


• FDE (Full Disk Encryption) encrypt the whole drive


• CipherShield Smart Insert technology with CipherKey to authenticate the drive


• Conforms to HIPAA regulation regarding patient privacy and to Sarbanes-Oxley regarding corporate financial and accounting practice


• 2 stage cascade AES 256-bit equals 512-bit encryption


• NIST FIPS 140-2 Level 2 compliant AES hardware encryption with 256-bit encryption


• SSD drives inside for durability and shock resistance
