Apricorn launches the Aegis Secure Key 3z Hardware-Encrypted Flash Drive and Aegis Configurator
Software-Free USB Memory Key Delivers an Enhanced Feature Set and FIPS-Level Security at Entry-Level Pricing
Apricorn, the leading manufacturer of software-free, hardware-encrypted USB drives, today announced the release of the Aegis Secure Key 3z hardware-encrypted flash drive and the Aegis Configurator. Building on the success of its predecessor (the Aegis Secure Key 3.0), the Aegis Secure Key 3z is a feature-rich USB drive that includes FIPS-level security and eliminates the vulnerabilities found in software-managed systems.
