Most of us have been working from home for the better part of the last two years and some of us will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. However, many of us will adopt a hybrid-style of work, where we may be at home one day, but in the office, at a coffee shop or travelling to a conference the next. This new approach to how and where we work will inevitably open us up to a degree of risk regarding the safety of our devices and the data stored inside. Our Encrypted USB 3.0 2.5" SATA enclosure can help mitigate the risk of data theft. Read on to see its key features and how it can give you peace of mind while on the go with sensitive data. Biometric Security The enclosure contains a fingerprint scanner on the top side of the device. Using the intuitive software interface, administrators can manage up to eight different fingerprints allowing multiple users to access the drive and its contents. Data Encryption Using one of the most secure data encryption methods, Advanced Encryption Standard AES-256, the contents of the drive installed in the enclosure will be protected from theft or prying eyes, even if removed from the enclosure. When properly implemented, AES-256 would take millions of years to break with even the world's most powerful supercomputer, meaning your data is guaranteed safe (don't forget to backup, though!). Now that you have your data safe and secure on your drive, you may also want to consider keeping the contents of your smartphone or laptop secure when charging while on the go. StarTech.com offers a lineup of secure charge-only USB cables. The cables, available in USB-C, micro-USB and a dongle, look like any other cable but do not contain the necessary pins to transfer data. This design will keep connected devices safe from data theft, data corruption and infection from spyware malware. What are your thoughts on this biometric encrypted enclosure?
