(MENAFN- Mid-East Info) In the rapidly digitizing economies of the Middle East, data is a critical asset, and its protection is non-negotiable. As remote work and cross-border operations become standard, safeguarding confidential information outside of the corporate firewall is a major compliance and security challenge. Traditional external storage drives simply do not offer the necessary safeguards.

The iStorage diskAshur PRO3 portable hard drive and SSD redefines mobile data protection. Engineered to meet the most rigorous government and military-grade standards, it offers Middle East businesses and government agencies a definitive, certifiable solution for protecting sensitive data on the move. Certified, Hardware-Based Security

The PRO3's primary distinction is its reliance on hardware encryption, which is fundamentally more secure than software-based alternatives.

• Military-Grade Encryption: It employs a FIPS PUB 197 validated AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption algorithm. This means the encryption and decryption processes occur entirely on the drive itself, independent of the host computer's operating system.
• Secure Core: The drive incorporates a Common Criteria EAL5+ certified secure microprocessor. This dedicated component ensures that the encryption key is protected and never leaves the secure environment of the drive.
• Global Compliance Readiness: The device is pending FIPS 140-3 Level 3 validation, the gold standard for cryptographic modules, demonstrating its commitment to the highest security benchmarks and making it suitable for organizations with strict compliance requirements.

The Fortress: Multi-Layered Anti-Hacking Defense

The diskAshur PRO3 is designed as a physical and digital fortress against all forms of intrusion, from simple theft to sophisticated cyberattacks.

PIN Authentication: Access is controlled by an 8-64 digit PIN entered on a wear-resistant, epoxy-coated backlit keypad, hiding key usage and ensuring security even in low-light conditions.

Brute Force Defense: The drive is armed with a sophisticated Brute Force Hack Defense Mechanism. If the Admin PIN is entered incorrectly 10 consecutive times, the drive will automatically execute a cryptographically secure erase, destroying all data, PINs, and the encryption key, rendering the data lost forever.

Physical Tamper Proofing: All internal components are encapsulated in a layer of durable epoxy resin. This process makes it virtually impossible to remove or compromise the internal components without causing irreversible damage, providing clear evidence of any attempted physical breach.

Immunity to BadUSB: The drive features firmware protection to prevent malicious attacks that leverage compromised USB technology, ensuring it is immune to the notorious BadUSB vulnerability.

Administrative Control: It supports independent Admin, User, and One-Time Recovery PINs, allowing IT departments to manage access and recovery without compromising security. Performance and Portability for the Modern Professional

Designed for the speed and agility of modern business, the diskAshur PRO3 doesn't sacrifice performance for security. The SSD versions offer ultrafast transfer speeds (up to 448MB/s read and 444MB/s write), allowing for rapid handling of large media files and databases.

Available in capacities up to 16TB (SSD), it offers massive storage for enterprise-level projects. Furthermore, its IP56-certified enclosure makes it dust and water-resistant, ensuring reliability in varied environments. Crucially, the drive is OS & Platform Independent, connecting via a standard USB port and working seamlessly across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android devices.

For organizations in the Middle East dealing with sensitive client data, financial records, or government information, the iStorage diskAshur PRO3 is not merely an external drive-it is an essential security asset that ensures data remains protected, no matter where business takes you.
