Apricorn Aegis Secure Key 3.0 (ASK3-240GB) USB Type-A Flash Drive

Losing confidential files or having them intercepted can cripple a business or expose personal data. The Apricorn Aegis Secure Key 3.0 (ASK3-240GB) USB Type-A Flash Drive is a rugged, plug-and-play device that encrypts everything the moment you type a PIN, keeping your information safe wherever you go.

Apricorn Aegis Secure Key 3.0 (ASK3-240GB) USB Type-A Flash Drive - the answer to data-security worries

Every day you move files between laptops, tablets and servers, often in public spaces or on unsecured networks. That exposure makes it easy for thieves or malware to capture sensitive data. This flash drive eliminates that risk by providing hardware-based AES-256 encryption that works before the computer even sees the data. Because the encryption is built into the drive and activated by a personal PIN, you never need to install software or grant admin rights, and the drive remains unreadable on any system until you unlock it. The result is a simple, reliable way to protect client records, financial reports, research data or personal photos without slowing down your workflow.
