Product Description
What is datAshur Pro®?The iStorage datAshur Pro is the world's most secure, easy-to-use, and affordable USB 3.0 flash drive, utilizing PIN access with military-grade 256-bit XTS-AES hardware encryption. The datAshur Pro features a rechargeable battery that allows the user to enter a 7-15 digit PIN on the onboard keypad before connecting the drive to the USB port.
All data transferred to the datAshur Pro is encrypted in real-time with the built-in hardware encryption engine and is protected against unauthorized access, even if your datAshur Pro is lost or stolen. The datAshur Pro automatically locks when disconnected from the host computer or when the USB port power is disabled and can be set to timeout (lock) after a predetermined period.
The datAshur Pro works straight out of the box, requires no software or drivers to install, and is compatible with Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome, Android, thin clients, and embedded systems. The datAshur Pro provides drag-and-drop encryption, plug-and-play simplicity, and can be used with all software.
The datAshur Pro can be configured with independent user and administrator PINs, making it perfect for enterprise and government deployment. If the user forgets their PIN, the drive can be unlocked using the Administrator PIN, which will then erase the old user PIN and allow the user to set a new PIN. The datAshur Pro also features a drive reset function that erases both user and administrator PINs, deletes all data, creates a new randomly generated encryption key, and allows the drive to be reused. The datAshur Pro is capable of generating an infinite number of randomly generated encryption keys, enabling the user to reset the drive as needed.
As the iStorage datAshur Pro is unlocked via the onboard keypad and not through a keyboard, it is vulnerable to software/hardware-based keyloggers or brute-force attacks. The datAshur Pro protects your data with a "Brute Force Hack Defense Mechanism." If both the administrator and user PINs have been created and a user enters an incorrect user PIN 10 (ten) times in a row, the datAshur Pro's brute force mechanism will trigger, and the user PIN will be deleted. All data remains on the datAshur Pro and can only be accessed by the Admin entering the correct Admin PIN. If the administrator enters an incorrect Admin PIN 10 (ten) times consecutively, then both user and administrator PINs, the encryption key, and all data will be deleted and lost forever. The datAshur Pro then returns to factory default settings and must be formatted before it can be reused.
The datAshur Pro is an investment that will last for years. Its robust extruded aluminum, waterproof casing protects the drive from physical damage. The internal drive components are also sealed using a tamper-evident coating.
Why choose datAshur Pro?Did you know that millions of flash drives are lost or stolen every year, and this number is on the rise? Have you ever thought about the impact of losing your unencrypted USB flash drive? Your data would be at the mercy of someone stumbling across it.
Information Commissioner's Office (ICO)
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) now has the power to impose fines on companies and government bodies of up to £500,000 for serious breaches of the Data Protection Act. This includes the loss of an unencrypted USB flash drive containing customer data. The ICO has been very clear in advising businesses and government bodies to encrypt all data that workers access; they also recognize that data that is encrypted and lost or stolen is not vulnerable to compromise.
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
The European Union will soon have the power to impose fines of €20 million or 4% of annual turnover on companies found to be in violation of the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The upcoming legislation requires anyone holding data on EU citizens to implement adequate security measures to protect the data from loss or theft.
The loss of confidential data can have a devastating effect on businesses and consumers. It could lead to hefty fines, the downfall of a business, embarrassment, job losses, and negative media attention. The iStorage datAshur Pro can protect you from all of this.
What is the difference between software encryption and hardware encryption?Software encryption:- Complex passwords can be easily and quickly decrypted by brute-force attacks
- Simple password decryption software is available for free on the internet
- Software encryption is easily decrypted by keyloggers - every keystroke is recorded either by software or hardware keyloggers
- Viruses can corrupt software encryption
- Software encryption is much slower than hardware encryption
- Software encryption requires installation on every computer where the external storage device is used
- Software encryption shares computer resources to encrypt data using other programs present on the computer, so its security is relative to that of your computer.
Hardware encryption:- It is impossible to brute-force attack the datAshur key
- Since the PIN for the datAshur key is entered on the device itself and not directly on the keyboard, it is not vulnerable to keyloggers
- No software is required for the use of datAshur, and it is compatible with Windows, MAC, Linux, Chrome, Android, Thin Clients, and embedded systems.
- Encryption occurs in real-time, so speed is not affected
- No software or drivers are required
- OS and platform independent - compatible with Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome, Android, thin clients, and embedded systems
