The NeXt Step for Aegis Secure Keys.

Tiny footprint, giant security. The Aegis Secure Key 3NXC is the first 256- bit AES XTS hardware-encrypted flash key employing USB-C connectivity, all while including all of the functions and features you've come to expect from Apricorn. Bootable, OS agnostic, and completely cross-platform compatible, the Aegis Secure Key 3NXC comes in 8 capacities from 4GB to 512GB.

The Practical Choice.

From small businesses to large corporations, the Aegis Secure Key 3NXC delivers the most data security for your buck. With capacities starting as low as 4GB and as high as 256GB, the size and cost of the device can be closely alligned to match the amount of data that an associate normally needs to carry. Its low cost and Aegis Configurator™ compatibility make it the smart choice for company deployments both large and small.

Portable Versatility.

Roughly the size of a five stick pack of gum, the Aegis Secure Key 3NXC easily fits in any pocket, purse, or computer carry case. Its type-C connector is universally compatible to all type C ports, and can further be adapted to work with Type-A ports with our C to A adapter (sold separately.) And since it's OS agnostic, the 3NXC can work with any device with a C port, from a tablet, to a phone, a Windows machine, and a Mac with ease.

Tough on the Outside.

IP 67 rated against water immersion and blowing dust. Rugged terrain, sand, wet locations and extreme temperatures are no match for the 3NXC. The crush-resistant aluminum alloy outer enclosure and durable sleeve are ready for anywhere. And the abrasion resistant keypad with polymer coating prevents keypad wear to conceal those commonly pressed keys. Inside, a hardened epoxy potting serves to prevent internal tampering.

No Software. Period.

Apricorn's unique hardware based approach delivers the highest levels of data security and workflow compatibility. Like all Aegis secure drives, the Secure Key 3NXC is software-free, hardware-encrypted, and completely cross-compatible. And since it's software-free, 100% of its authentication and encryption processes take place within the device itself, never involving the host computer in any of its security processes.

Separate Admin and User Modes / PINs

Admin (Device Configuration) Mode and User Access Mode. The Admin mode controls the universal programmable settings of the device and can only be accessed with the Admin PIN. The User mode is for general external drive usage like read /write, unlock / lock, and certain other functions. The User mode is accessible via a User PIN or the Admin PIN. Up to four User PINs may be enrolled.

Admin Forced Enrollment

Eliminates factory default PIN vulnerability by forcing the enrollment of an Admin PIN prior to use. As with all Apricorn Aegis secure devices, there are no default passwords, and no back-doors. In order to use any Apricorn secure drive, the Admin must first establish a complex PIN. User Forced Enrollment Beyond the admin PIN, one additional PIN can be generated to access the device's data. This User PIN can be set up by the admin at initial setup, or the device can be deployed in a state of User Forced Enrollment, allowing the user to establish his or her own PIN prior to use. Data Recovery PINs Programmed by the admin at time of setup to permit regaining access to the drive by creating a state of User Forced Enrollment in which a new User PIN can be created without affecting the drive's existing data or the Admin PIN.
