after a pre-determined amount of time. In addition you can pre-program your own unique Self Destruct PIN which,
once implemented, instantly destroys all PINs, data and creates a new encryption key.
Software Free Design – With no admin rights to contend with: Setup takes just minutes. With no
software installation required for setup or operation and the ability to run on any platform, the Aegis Padlock
provides stress free deployment in corporate environments. Its Administrator feature allows enrollment of up
to four unique user ID’s and one administrator, making it a useful business collaboration tool.
Data at Rest Protection: All data, PINs, and encryption keys are always encrypted while at rest.
Drive Reset Feature: The Aegis Padlock 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.
Auto Lock feature and Self Destruct PIN: With the Aegis Padlock SSD you can set the unattended drive to lock
Brute Force Protection: The Aegis Padlock uses a three pronged approach to protect against a Brute Force attack.
Works with
Windows 8, 7,
Vista & XP
The rst step is to deny access to the drive until the drive can verify the user PIN. After several incorrect attempts the drive
will lock itself, requiring the drive to be plugged in again to input a PIN. This feature blocks automated attempts to enter
PIN numbers. Lastly, after a predetermined number of failed PIN entries, the Padlock assumes it is being attacked and will
destroy the encryption key and lock itself, rendering the data useless and requiring a total reset to redeploy the Padlock.
Wear Resistant Key Pad - Water & Dust Resistant: Designed with protection in mind, the Aegis Padlock’s ‘wear
resistant’ keypad and case is impervious to dust, grit and water, and hides key usage to avoid tipping off a potential hacker to
the commonly used keys.
Integrated USB 3.0 Cable: With super fast data transfers up to 300MB/s you need never forget your cables again.

Invincible to key logging attacks, you access the drive with your own unique PIN via an onboard
keypad. Certied to NIST FIPS 140-2 Level 2 requirements, this drive is tested on 11 cryptographic
levels. All data on the drive is protected with real-time hardware AES-XTS 256-bit encryption, and
with no software required for installation or operation this drive needs no admin rights. Combine this
