NYHET ! iStorage datAshur BT Remote Management

Roger Valderhaug — Thu, 28 Jan 2021 09:53:42 +0000

Browser-based

iStorage datAshur BT RM is a browser-based Web Manager that offers remote access management with full audit trail as a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution, using secure global cloud services that comply with GDPR, HIPAA and many other regulatory requirements. Specifically, it offers features such as the ability to remotely wipe or disable user access, restrict the time and locations that datAshur BT USB flash drives can be used, remotely unlock and change user password, view user activity logs as well as a host of additional features.

Provision drives and enforce user policies

iStorage datAshur BT RM requires IT Administrators to use the iStorage datAshur BT Admin mobile app to provision datAshur BT USB flash drives and enforce user policies (iOS, Android). All authorised users of the Managed drives are required to use the iStorage datAshur BT Managed mobile app (iOS, Android) to authenticate themselves and the drive. Access rights are updatable wirelessly – anywhere and anytime via a FIPS 140-2 Level 3 compliant secure wireless connection between the mobile phone and the datAshur BT USB flash drive.

Benefits and Differentiators (vs competing RM solutions):

Host/OS independent – datAshur BT drives work across any computer, printer, scanner, thin-client, embedded equipment, medical device and military device

No USB communication when drive is locked – you cannot hack what you don’t see

No software application is required to run on the host (e.g. computer, printer, etc) to control access and authenticate the user

Geo-fencing is based on the precision of GPS components used in mobile devices, which is far more accurate than remote management systems that rely on an IP address-based methods and tools.

How access rights are updated wirelessly

STEP 1	Step 2	Step 3	Step 4

Administrator executes a command on the iStorage datAshur BT Remote Management Web Console.	The command is sent as an encrypted signal from the Remote Management Web Console to the datAshur BT Managed app.	User enters credentials into the datAshur BT Managed app to seamlessly authenticate via the server and then unlock the drive via the app.	datAshur BT Managed app receives the administrator command and transmits it to the drive via a FIPS compliant encrypted Bluetooth channel.

Main	Features

Temporarily disable or reset users datAshur BT – in the event of suspicious activity or an employee leaving the organisation without returning their datAshur BT.	Display user’s location – you can view the location of datAshur BT drives via an on-screen map that uses precision GPS rather than an IP address.	User login attempts – each login is monitored and saved, displaying drive location, date and time each user used their datAshur BT, as well as showing if the login attempt was successful or not.	Remote unlock – IT Administrators can remotely unlock a user’s drive using the Admin credentials. This is a very useful feature if the user has forgotten their password.

Geofencing & Time fencing – restrict the time and location of where and when users can use their datAshur BT. Admins can limit user access by Continent, Country, City, State or postal/ZIP code, start/end time (any time zone) and can select the radius in KM/MI away from the chosen location, (down to 2 meters). Geofencing is based on the precision of the GPS chip used in users’ mobile devices, which is extremely accurate.	Two Factor Authentication – to unlock a datAshur BT USB flash drive, each user must have their own username and password to authenticate themselves as authorised users of the company Remote Management account, once credentials are confirmed, users can unlock their datAshur BT using a 7-15-character password or Biometric unlock (Face ID/Facial recognition, Touch ID/Fingerprint and IRIS scanning). User app supports 12 languages²	Remote wipe – remotely wipe a user’s device, which will reset the datAshur BT back to factory default settings (the drive performs a “safe erase” of all data and user credentials). This is an essential feature if an employee leaves the organisation and still has possession of the datAshur BT USB flash drive or if the drive is lost or stolen. By performing a Remote Wipe operation, all attempts to gain access to the data stored on the drive are blocked.	Change password – IT Administrators can remotely reset a user’s password without losing any data stored on the drive.

What is diskAshur PRO²SSD?

An easy to use ultra-secure, PIN authenticated, portable USB 3.1 hard drive with real-time AES 256-bit XTS hardware encryption, software free design, super-fast data transfer speeds and designed to be certified to FIPS 140-2 Level 3, NCSC CPA (Foundation Level), Common Criteria and NLNCSA government accreditations. The diskAshur PRO²SSD has an easy-to-use keypad design enabling you to securely access the drive with your own unique 7-15 digit PIN and with software free setup and operation, the diskAshur PRO²SSD is platform/device independent and works across all operating systems including all versions of MS Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, Chrome, Thin Clients, Zero Clients and embedded systems. In fact, it will work on any device with a USB port! One of the unique and underlying security features of the GDPR compliant diskAshur PRO²SSD is the dedicated hardware-based secure microprocessor (Common Criteria EAL4+ ready), which employs built-in physical protection mechanisms designed to defend against external tamper, bypass attacks and more. Unlike other solutions, the diskAshur PRO²SSD reacts to an automated attack by entering the deadlock frozen state, which renders all such attacks as useless. In plain and simple terms, without the PIN there’s no way in!

**EDGE^TM (Enhanced Dual Generating Encryption) Technology

Offering advanced portable data security via built-in FIPS PUB 197 validated AES 256-bit XTS hardware encryption engine. The data encryption key is randomly generated by a Common Criteria EAL4+ ready Random Number Generator and protected by NCSC, FIPS and Common Criteria validated wrapping algorithms. Uniquely featuring a dedicated on-board Common Criteria EAL4+ ready secure microprocessor to enhance security through true random number generation and built-in cryptography. The security component employs physical protection mechanisms to protect itself from any external tamper, bypass laser attacks and fault injections and incorporates active-shield violation technology. More specifically, the secure microprocessor reacts to all forms of automated hacking attempts by entering the deadlock frozen state where the device can only restart through a ‘Power On’ reset procedure (i.e. power off/power on). The security lock feature protects the device against any unauthorised firmware modifications from the host side (fully protected against BadUSB). The diskAshur PRO²SSD uniquely incorporates a secure microprocessor providing secure algorithms to encrypt both the data and the encryption key, giving you confidence that your data is protected to the highest standards at any given time.

FIPS PUB 197 Validated Encryption Algorithm

Employing AES 256-bit XTS hardware encryption, the iStorage diskAshur PRO²SSD seamlessly encrypts all data on the drive in real-time, keeping your data safe even if the hard drive is removed from its enclosure.

Super fast USB 3.1

With super-fast USB 3.1 data transfer speeds of 294 MBps (Read) and 319 MBps (Write), you can now access your files faster than ever before. The iStorage diskAshur PRO²SSD is also backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports.

Brute Force Hack Defence Mechanism

The iStorage diskAshur PRO² SSD is intelligently programmed to protect against all forms of Brute Force attacks. After five consecutive incorrect PIN entries the drive will freeze, requiring the drive to be disconnected and reconnected to the USB port to get a further five PIN entry attempts. If a further five (10 in total) consecutive incorrect PIN attempts are entered again, the diskAshur PRO² SSD will freeze again. To get a further and final five PIN attempts (15 in total), the “shift” button must be pressed whilst inserting the USB cable to the USB port and then an iStorage preset PIN will need to be entered. On the fifteenth consecutive incorrect PIN entry, the diskAshur PRO² SSD assumes it is being attacked and will delete the encryption key and lock itself, rendering all data previously stored on the drive as lost forever. At this point the drive can be reset to factory default settings and redeployed.

Self Destruct Feature

You can pre-program the diskAshur PRO² SSD with your own unique Self Destruct PIN which, once implemented, instantly deletes the encryption key, all PINs, data and then creates a new encryption key.

Unattended Auto-Lock Feature

Set the unattended diskAshur PRO² SSD to automatically lock after a pre-determined amount of time where the drive has not been used.

Drive Reset Feature

The iStorage diskAshur PRO² SSD 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.

To get a further and final five PIN attempts (15 in total), the “shift” button must be pressed whilst powering the diskAshur DT² off and then powering back on before entering the iStorage preset PIN. On the fifteenth consecutive incorrect PIN entry, the diskAshur DT² assumes it is being attacked and will delete the encryption key and lock itself, rendering all data previously stored on the drive as lost forever. At this point, the drive can be reset to factory default settings and redeployed.

Drive Reset Feature

The iStorage diskAshur DT² 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.

Self Destruct Feature

You can pre-program the diskAshur DT² with your own unique Self Destruct PIN which, once implemented, instantly deletes the encryption key, all PINs, data and then creates a new encryption key.

Unattended Auto-Lock Feature

Set the unattended diskAshur DT² to automatically lock after a pre-determined amount of time.

Tamper Proof

In addition to incorporating a secure microprocessor, encrypting the data and the encryption key, the diskAshur DT² adds another barrier between your data and a hacker. All the components of the diskAshur DT² are completely covered by a layer of super tough epoxy resin, which is virtually impossible to remove without causing permanent damage to the components. This barrier prevents a potential hacker from accessing the critical components and launching a variety of futile attacks.

What is diskAshur² ?

An easy to use ultra-secure, PIN authenticated, portable USB 3.1 hard drive with real-time AES 256-bit XTS hardware encryption, software free design and super-fast data transfer speeds. The diskAshur² has an easy-to-use keypad design enabling you to securely access the drive with your own unique 7-15 digit PIN and with software free setup and operation, the diskAshur² is platform/device independent and works across all operating systems including all versions of MS Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, Chrome, Thin Clients, Zero Clients and embedded systems. In fact, it will work on any device with a USB port! One of the unique and underlying security features of the GDPR compliant diskAshur² is the dedicated hardware based secure microprocessor (Common Criteria EAL4+ ready), which employs built-in physical protection mechanisms designed to defend against external tamper, bypass attacks and more. Unlike other solutions, the diskAshur² reacts to an automated attack by entering the deadlock frozen state, which renders all such attacks as useless. In plain and simple terms, without the PIN there’s no way in!

* EDGE^TM (Enhanced Dual Generating Encryption) Technology

Offering advanced portable data security via built-in FIPS PUB 197 validated AES 256-bit XTS hardware encryption engine. The data encryption key is randomly generated by a Common Criteria EAL4+ ready Random Number Generator and protected by NCSC, FIPS and Common Criteria validated wrapping algorithms. Uniquely featuring a dedicated on-board Common Criteria EAL4+ ready secure microprocessor to enhance security through true random number generation and built-in cryptography. The security component employs physical protection mechanisms to protect itself from any external tamper, bypass laser attacks and fault injections and incorporates active-shield violation technology. More specifically, the secure microprocessor reacts to all forms of automated hacking attempts by entering the deadlock frozen state where the device can only restart through a ‘Power On’ reset procedure (i.e. power off/power on). The security lock feature protects the device against any unauthorised firmware modifications from the host side (fully protected against BadUSB). The diskAshur² uniquely incorporates a secure microprocessor providing secure algorithms to encrypt both the data and the encryption key, giving you confidence that your data is protected to the highest standards at any given time.

FIPS PUB 197 Validated Encryption Algorithm

Employing AES 256-bit XTS hardware encryption, the iStorage diskAshur² seamlessly encrypts all data on the drive in real-time, keeping your data safe even if the hard drive is removed from its enclosure.

Super-fast USB 3.1

With super-fast USB 3.1 data transfer speeds of 148 MBps (Read) and 140 MBps (Write), you can now access your files faster than ever before. The iStorage diskAshur² is also backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports.

Brute Force Hack Defence Mechanism

The iStorage diskAshur² is intelligently programmed to protect against all forms of Brute Force attacks. After five consecutive incorrect PIN entries the drive will freeze, requiring the drive to be disconnected and reconnected to the USB port to get a further five PIN entry attempts. If a further five (10 in total) consecutive incorrect PIN attempts are entered again, the diskAshur² will freeze again. To get a further and final five PIN attempts (15 in total), the “shift” button must be pressed whilst inserting the USB cable to the USB port and then an iStorage preset PIN will need to be entered. On the fifteenth consecutive incorrect PIN entry, the diskAshur² assumes it is being attacked and will delete the encryption key and lock itself, rendering all data previously stored on the drive as lost forever. At this point the drive can be reset to factory default settings and redeployed.

datAshur Personal2

Roger Valderhaug — Mon, 21 Nov 2016 17:51:42 +0000

All data transferred to the datAshur Personal2 is encrypted in real-time with the built in hardware encryption engine and is protected from unauthorised access even if your datAshur Personal2 is lost or stolen. The datAshur Personal2 automatically locks when unplugged from the host computer or power to the USB port is turned off and can be set to timeout (lock) after a predetermined amount of time.

The datAshur Personal2 operates straight out of the box, does not require any software or drivers to be installed and is compatible with Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome, Android, Thin Clients and embedded systems. The datAshur Personal2 delivers drag and drop encryption, plug and play simplicity and can be used with any software.

The datAshur Personal2 can be configured with independent User and Admin PINs, making it perfect for corporate and government deployment. If the User forgets their PIN, the drive can be unlocked using the Admin PIN which will then clear the old User PIN and allow the User to set a new PIN. The datAshur Personal2 also incorporates a drive reset feature which clears both User and Admin PINs, deletes all data, creates a new randomly generated encryption key and allows the drive to be reused. The datAshur Personal2 is capable of generating an infinite number of randomly generated encryption keys, allowing the user to reset the drive as and when required.

As the iStorage datAshur Personal2 is unlocked via the on-board keypad and not via a keyboard, it is not vulnerable to software/hardware based key-loggers or brute force attacks. The datAshur Personal2 protects your data with a “Brute Force Hack Defence Mechanism”. If both Admin and User PINs have been created and a User enters an incorrect User PIN 10 (ten) consecutive times, the datAshur Personal2’s brute force mechanism will trigger and the User PIN will be deleted. All data will remain on the datAshur Personal2 and can only be accessed by the Admin entering the correct Admin PIN. If Admin enters an incorrect Admin PIN 10 (ten) consecutive times, then both the User and Admin PINs, the encryption key and all data will be deleted and lost forever The datAshur Personal2 will then revert back to factory default settings and will need to be formatted before it can be reused.

The datAshur Personal2 is an investment that will last for years.

Why choose datAshur Personal2?

Did you know that millions of flash drives are lost or stolen every year and this figure is rising? Have you ever considered the impact of losing your non-encrypted USB flash drive? Your data would be at the mercy of anyone who stumbles across it.

Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO)

The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) now has the power to fine businesses and government bodies up to £500,000 for serious breaches of the Data Protection Act. This includes the loss of an unencrypted USB flash drive that contains client data. The ICO has been very clear in advising businesses and government bodies to encrypt all data that workers access, they also recognise that data which 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 fine companies €20 million or 4% of their annual turnover if they are found to be in breach of the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The forthcoming legislation compels anyone who holds data on EU Citizens to implement adequate security measures to protect data from loss or theft.

Loss of confidential data can have a devastating effect on both businesses and consumers. It could lead to a hefty fine, the downfall of a business, embarrassment, job losses and adverse media attention. The iStorage datAshur Personal2 can protect you against all of this.

What is the difference between software and hardware encryption?

Software encryption:

Complex passwords can be cracked easily and quickly with a Brute Force Attack
Simple password cracking software is readily available on the internet, often free of charge
Software encryption is vulnerable to key loggers – where every key pressed is logged in either a software or hardware key logger
Software encryption can be corrupted by viruses
Software encryption is much slower when compared to hardware encryption
Software encryption needs to be installed on each computer that the external storage device is used on
Software encryption shares computers resources to encrypt data with other programs on the computer, making it only as safe as your computer.

Hardware encryption:

The datAshur Personal2 cannot be brute force attacked
The datAshur Personal2 is not vulnerable to keyloggers as the PIN is entered on the unit rather than the keyboard
The datAshur Personal2 does not require any software and can be used on any Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome, Android, Thin Clients and Embedded Systems.
Encryption is performed in real-time thus there is no speed degradation
No software or drivers are required
