Encrypted USB 3.0 drive provides software free biometric fingerprint security
Designed for those that wish to break away from passwords and PINs, and utilize their unique fingerprint for secure access to their data, the Aegis Bio 3.0 combines powerful hardware based authentication with real-time 256-bit AES-XTS data encryption. The result, a formidable hardware based security solution that requires no admin rights to setup or access data and works independently of the host OS, providing an exceptional level of data protection that is ideal for use in a multi-platform corporate environment. Its compact durable design with integrated USB cable is perfect for the office or taking sensitive data on the road and is available with either a hard drive or SSD up to 1TB.
The Aegis Bio incorporates multiple layers of protection, with an AuthenTec Fingerprint Sensor for Hardware-based Biometric Authentication that meets the image requirements of both NIST and the FBI and real-time 256-bit AES-XTS Hardware Encryption, meeting the most stringent data storage requirements and rendering data on the drive impenetrable even if it is removed from the enclosure. There is also embedded enrollment and software free design does not require admin rights to setup or access data and allows for a seamless cross platform deployment.
With support for up to five fingerprints, the Aegis Bio’s unique Embedded Enrollment keeps all fingerprint enrollment and authentication within the Aegis Bio circuitry, independent of the host system. While other biometric drives may use a CD emulation module or software on the host system for fingerprint enrollment, the Aegis Bio requires no software, enabling it to be used on any USB host regardless of its OS.
The AuthenTec fingerprint sensor uses an advanced live layer imaging technology called HD3D, to provide the most accurate fingerprint image possible. Using a patented dual-plate active pixel design, the sensor is superior to competitors that use only a single passive pixel design. The sensor uses three different sensing methods that penetrate outer layers of skin to read live layers under the skin, giving anti-spoofing protection and meeting the stringent image quality requirements of NIST and the FBI.
"The Aegis Bio’s software free design and simple setup offer several advantages to virtually any security conscience organization," said Mike McCandless , VP of Sales and Marketing. "With no passwords to remember or admin rights to contend with and an OS independent design, the Aegis Bio can be easily deployed into any existing security infrastructure. The Aegis Bio is completely scalable to any sized company, and with no software or updates, it is ideal for those that use multiple hosts and platforms."
