Apricorn expands Aegis Padlock DT FIPS line with new 32TB capacity – TECHNOLOGY RESELLER

The market’s highest capacity hardware-encrypted external drive enables secure, offline storage for rapidly growing enterprise data demands

Apricorn, the leading global provider of quantum-resistant hardware-encrypted external storage solutions, today announced the introduction of their 32TB Aegis Padlock DT FIPS desktop drive. The expansion reinforces Apricorn’s leadership in high-capacity encrypted storage, delivering the largest hardware-encrypted external drive on the market for organisations managing rapidly expanding data volumes.

With enterprises generating and retaining more data than ever before, the necessary for secure, high-capacity backup solutions that exist indepconcludeently of their networks continues to grow. The new 32TB model enables organisations across sectors such as government, healthcare, financial services, energy and manufacturing to securely store massive datasets while maintaining security policy compliance and strict control over sensitive data.

“As data volumes continue to surge, organisations have to give real consideration to how and where they store their most critical information,” stated Kurt Markley, Managing Director, Apricorn. “Expanding the Aegis Padlock DT FIPS line to 32TB gives our customers the ability to consolidate large amounts of sensitive data into a highly secure device that could be completely isolated from network-based threats.”

The Aegis Padlock DT FIPS desktop drive features Apricorn’s proprietary AegisWare™ firmware, which ensures that all authentication and encryption processes occur within the device itself. Unlike software-based offerings, Apricorn drives do not involve any host systems in their critical security parameters, eliminating exposure to keyloggers and other concludepoint-based attacks. Users authenticate directly on the device via an onboard keypad, keeping PINs and encryption keys fully protected at all times.

Furthermore, all Apricorn devices secure data in real time as it is written, ensuring that all stored information remains protected both in transit and at rest. The firmware is locked down to prevent introduction of malware or any other unauthorised modification, further strengthening defences against tampering.

“Organisations must recognise that not all data should live on the network,” Markley added. “Offline, encrypted storage plays a critical role in broader data protection and resilience strategies, particularly as threats tarreceiveing concludepoints and connected systems continue to evolve.”

The Aegis Padlock DT FIPS now offers 13 capacities, from 2TB up to the new 32TB option, providing flexibility for organisations with varying storage requirements and are designed for ease of utilize without requiring software installation or administrative privileges.

Apricorn’s hardware-encrypted drives provide a secure and practical solution for transporting sensitive data and maintaining offline backups, supporting organisations meet compliance requirements across industries including finance, healthcare, government, and energy.
