Kingston IronKey Vault Privacy 80 External SSD is Kingston’s first innovative OS-independent hardware-encrypted external SSD with touch-screen for data protection. VP80ES safeguards against Brute Force attacks and BadUSB with digitally-signed firmware. Brute Force attack protection crypto-erases the drive if the Admin and User passwords are entered incorrectly 15 times in a row by default (adjustable between 10-30 attempts). The drive is FIPS 197 certified with XTS-AES 256-bit encryption using a Common Criteria EAL5+ (CC EAL5+) certified secure microprocessor, and is TAA compliant. As innate as unlocking a smartphone and simple drag & drop file transfers, VP80ES is designed to protect data while being user-friendly. Featuring an intuitive colour touch-screen and multi-password (Admin and User) option with numeric PIN or passphrase modes, Vault Privacy 80ES is superior to using the internet and Cloud services to safeguard data. Admin can enable a User password and set up security options, such as configuring password requirements by setting the maximum number of shared attempts, minimum password length of 6-64 characters, and alphanumeric password rules. Additionally, you can utilise the ‘space’ character making it easier to remember a passphrase as a list of words, a memorable quote, or lyrics from a favourite song. Otherwise, use the PIN pad to unlock just as you would on a mobile device and to reduce failed login attempts and frustration by tapping the “eye” button to view the password as entered.
