“The Aegis Padlock SSD is one of our most popular devices for those needing a touh, rugged, and fast drive, which now cmes in one and two terabyte capacities and is Aegis Configurator compatible,” said Mike McCandless, VP, sales and marketing. “It’s smaller than a deck of cards and stands up to field abuse, and really shines in extreme temperatures and harsh conditions.“

These devices provide a simple and secure method for transporting sensitive data outside the firewall or storing off line and helps companies in regulated industries adhere to their respective compliance mandates including finance, government, power and energy, legal and healthcare.
