Hard drives that rely on software to enable encryption keys are vulnerable to cold-boot and malware attacks because they export AES encryption keys to the host PC. Even hardware encrypted drives that store their credentials on the hard drive are susceptible to attacks. Only the DataLocker hard drive uses the DataLocker Crytochip to store user credentials and the encryption keys to protect against online and physical attacks so you can be confident you?re protecting sensitive data. You can also further protect the device with the optional on-board antivirus and malware protection that scans all on-board files upon lock and at regular intervals providing IT with an accurate account of the drive?s contents.
DataLocker?s hardware-based encryption and password verification is always on and can?t be disabled by malware or a careless user; DataLocker H300 hard drives provide robust support for complex and custom password policies including length, special characters, expiration and more with an auto-lock feature enabled; And after 10 failed consecutive password attempts, the device will either selfdestruct or disable (if previously enabled) back to its default state. Managed DataLocker H300 Enterprise hard drives, along with the FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified DataLocker H350 Enterprise hard drives, are the only drives to offer password reset without erasing all the data on the drive.
