diskAshur PRO3 features include:
Ease of use
Using the device is effortlessly simple: simply connect to the host USB port (USB Type-A and Type-C cables included) and input the user-configured 8-64 digit PIN. Upon entering the correct PIN, all data stored on the drive will be decrypted and accessible. To lock the drive, simply eject it from the host, and all data will be encrypted.
The TAA-compliant drive is available in capacities of up to 16TB and redefines the standard for securing data with ease and confidence.
Government accreditations
The diskAshur PRO3 HDD/SSD is pending the new FIPS 140-3 Level 3 validation standard, having passed the CAVP certification testing.
Enhanced encryption and physical security
The diskAshur PRO3 provides real-time Full Disk data security through the implementation of a Military-grade FIPS PUB 197 validated AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption algorithm. This comprehensive approach ensures strong protection against unauthorised access.
The diskAshur PRO3 is engineered to provide tamper-proof security. Accessing its components requires physically breaking the enclosure, clearly indicating any tampering attempts. Moreover, all internal parts are shielded with a layer of durable epoxy resin, enhancing protection against physical attacks.
Advanced firmware protection
The firmware of the iStorage diskAshur PRO3 complies with FIPS 140-3 Level 3 standards, having passed the CAVP certification testing. Additionally, the drive features a secure microprocessor certified to Common Criteria EAL5+, along with a distinctive flash lock mechanism, providing defence against potential firmware attacks on the microprocessor.
It also provides robust protection against BadUSB attacks via an innovative secure USB controller firmware protection mechanism. This guarantees the authentication of the USB controller firmware prior to any unlocking attempt, further enhancing security measures.
OS & Platform Independent
Cross-platform compatible with:
MS Windows, macOS, iPadOS, Linux, Android, Chrome, Thin Clients, Zero, Clients, Embedded Systems, Citrix, VMware, DVR’s, Medical Equipment, Printers, Scanners, CCTV.
In fact, it will work on any device with a USB port!
Ultrafast transfer speeds
Faster transfer read/write speeds of 450MB/s, outpacing the impressive speeds of the diskAshur PRO2 range.
FIPS ready
FIPS 140-3 Level 3 validated (pending), having successfully passed CAVP testing, demonstrating the cryptographic module of the product is complaint with the relevant standards.
Tamper proof and evident design
The diskAshur PRO3 is engineered to provide tamper-proof security. Accessing its components requires physically breaking the enclosure, clearly indicating any tampering attempts. In addition, every component of the drive is enveloped in a layer of highly durable epoxy resin, rendering it virtually impossible to remove without inflicting irreversible damage to the components.
Brute force hack defence mechanism
diskAshur PRO3 protects against brute force attacks. If the User PIN is entered incorrectly 10 consecutive times, it will be deleted. Data will remain on the device but only accessible with the Admin PIN. If the Admin PIN is entered incorrectly 10 consecutive times, all data is lost forever. The device will need to be reconfigured before it can be re-used.
Admin, User, and Recovery PINs have separate brute force counters.
Independent User, Admin and One-Time Recovery PINs
The diskAshur PRO3 can be configured with three independent PINs. User, Admin & One-Time Recovery, ensuring flexibility without compromising security.
No pre-set PIN
diskAshur PRO3 is supplied with no pre-set Admin PIN. An 8-64 digit Admin PIN must be configured before the drive can be used.
Self-destruct PIN
Once entered, the encrypted encryption key and all PINs are deleted and all data is rendered as lost forever.
Backlit keypad
Can be turned On/Off, making the keys visible in low light conditions.
Wear resistant epoxy-coated keypad
Hides key usage to avoid tipping off a potential hacker to commonly used keys.
IP56-certified
Dust and water-resistant.
Bootable feature
Install any OS on the diskAshur PRO3 and boot directly from it.
Unattended auto-lock
Can be set to automatically lock when idle following a predetermined length of time.
Read-only (write protect) - Dual Mode
Restricts write access to the drive, essentially making it impossible to modify the data stored on it.
Three encryption modes
AES-XTS 256-bit default mode (optional AES-ECB 256-bit and AES-CBC 256-bit modes – user selectable, refer to user manual) – patented technology.
