DataLocker releases encrypted USB drive with capacities up to 15.3 TB – Help Net Security

DataLocker announced the release of an entirely new breed of encrypted USB drive. The DL4 FE changes the game for security professionals by providing bulletproof security and simple remote management in a small-form-factor USB drive with capacities up to 15.3 TB.

The onslaught of attacks by state actors, hackers, and cyber cartels continues. Threat actors are trying to exfiltrate terabytes of data to hold for ransom. Some want access to essential IT systems for later exploitation.

As an industry, we need more widespread usage of powerful encryption tools that render data completely unusable to all but those who should be using it. These are things weve always focused on, but were still leveling up our game, says Jay Kim, CEO of DataLocker.

The new DL4 FE is more than an encrypted drive, its a simpler way to secure and manage sensitive data across hundreds of end users and remote locations. We made the DL4 FE for industries with rigid compliance requirements, those with large data sets that must be secure in transit, or for organizations where keeping data secure is how you save lives. We think of the DL4 FE as a way to further our commitment to keeping the worlds most sensitive data simply secure, he says.

Built to FIPS 140-2 Level 3 device standards and incorporating a Common Criteria EAL5+ certified controller, the DL4 FE is the most secure large capacity USB drive in the DataLocker line.

AES 256-bit hardware-based encryption ensures that data on the device is nearly impossible to compromise. Its also built with a bevy of security features that keep the most sensitive data safe under the most demanding circumstances:

Some of the biggest benefits of the DL4 FE come by way of its remote manageability. Managing the DL4 FE with DataLockers management platform SafeConsole makes it easy for admins to set secure policies for drives in the field, remotely wipe or detonate devices, reset passwords, or audit drives to see any data thats been added, removed, or changed on the device.

SafeConsole also allows admins to remotely lock down or whitelist USB ports on endpoints through a feature called PortBlocker. SafeConsole is available for Windows machines.

The DL4 FE is available as a solid-state drive (SSD) as well as a hard disk drive (HDD). Capacities range from 1 TB to 15.3 TB. The DL4 FE connects to systems via USB-C or USB-A and is compatible with most contemporary Mac, Windows, and Linux operating systems, as well as any machine capable of connecting an external mass storage device.
