“Combined with the introduction of the Aegis Configurator, we have created an eco-system that simplifies deployment and access to the many device features, without sacrificing our software-free approach or security.” Following the established trend in electronics, the 3z is also smaller and less expensive than its predecessors,” said Mike McCandless, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Apricorn. “The 3z is our third generation Secure USB flash drive and has the improved features, functionality and componentry you would expect to see from Apricorn. This “locking the door from the inside” approach defends against the threat of unauthorised access to the device’s authentication settings via the USB port. Once the configuration process is complete, the configuration pathway is then shut down via firmware residing on the device, thus eliminating the ability to reopen the pathway via software. Automatic random PIN generation, programmable maximum PIN length, master profile creation and storage, and the ability to reformat and pre-load data onto drives at the time of configuration are just a few of the new tools introduced in the configurator launch.Ĭombined with the Aegis Configurator, the Aegis Secure Key 3z flash drive provides a seamless workflow for secure storage rollouts.

Beyond being exponentially faster than configuring an Apricorn device by hand, the configurator also introduces a host of new features. The launch also encompasses the Aegis Configurator, Apricorn’s Windows-based software package that allows 10 or more compatible Aegis Secure Devices to be set up and configured simultaneously. The Aegis Secure Key 3z is Apricorn’s most feature-rich device to date and offers capabilities that prove advantageous to users, including providing recovery PINs for lost or forgotten PINs and a key press indicator. Offering the most advanced data protection, the new Aegis Secure Key 3z flash drive offers top-level security (FIPS 140-2 level 3 validation pending) and a larger set of programmable user features at lower costs. It also enables security professionals in the most regulated industries (banking, government, education, legal, and healthcare) to configure and deploy multiple devices simultaneously with the new Aegis Configurator. Building on the success of its predecessor (the Aegis Secure Key 3.0), the Aegis Secure Key 3z (patent pending) is a feature-rich USB drive that includes FIPS-level security and eliminates the vulnerabilities found in software-managed systems. – 24th Jan, 2017, – Apricorn, the leading manufacturer of software-free, hardware-encrypted USB drives, today announced the release of the Aegis Secure Key 3z (patent pending) hardware-encrypted flash drive and the Aegis Configurator.
