bit hardware encryption, the Aegis Padlock seamlessly encrypts all data on the drive in real-time,
keeping your data safe even if the hard drive is removed from its enclosure.
Brute Force Self Destruct Feature: The Aegis Padlock uses a three pronged approach toprotect
against a Brute Force attack. The rst step is to deny access to the drive until the drive can verify the user
PIN. Afterseveral incorrectattempts thedrive willlock itself,requiring thedrive to beplugged inagain 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.
VTC Technology: Protectionagainsthacker attemptsdoesn’t stopwith BruteForce.Incorporated intothe
Aegis Padlock’s electronics is Apricorn’s Variable Time Circuit (VTC) technology, working to thwart “timing
attacks” aimed at accessing the drive by studying the behavior and inltrating the Padlock’s electronics.
Software Free Design: Setup takes just minutes. With no software installation required for setup or operation
and the ability to run on any platform, the Aegis Padlock DT provides stress free deployment in corporate
environments. Its Administrator Feature allows enrollment of up to ve unique user ID’s and one administrator,
making it a useful business collaboration tool.
Wear Resistant Key Pad: Designed with protection in mind, the entire Aegis Padlock family incorporates ‘wear
resistant’ keypads to hide key usage and avoid tipping off a potential hacker to the commonly used keys.
Data at Rest Protection: All data, PINs, and encryption keys are always encrypted while at rest.
Auto Lock feature: Set the unattended drive to lock after a pre-determined amount of time.
Lock Slot for Additional Security: Compatible with most standard security locks, the Aegis Padlock DT’s lock slot
