Apricorn’s Aegis Configurator Now Simplifies Setup and Deployment of Their Most Popular Hardware-Encrypted USB Storage Devices
Apricorn, the leading manufacturer of software-free, hardware-encrypted USB drives, today announced the Aegis Configurator setup application is now compatible with the entire line of Apricorn numeric keypad authenticated products (see list below). The Aegis Configurator simultaneously sets up multiple Apricorn encrypted external drives in a matter of seconds and provides the ability to create and save an infinite number of master profile settings that can be used over and over for future device configurations.
Initially, the Aegis Configurator was compatible only with the Aegis Secure Key 3z, which was released concurrently with the Configurator in January 2017. Based on the positive response from early adopters and independent evaluators of the initial release, effective Oct 1, 2017, all of Apricorn’s keypad-authenticated secure devices can be set up using the Aegis Configurator, saving time and money for deployments of any size.
“Beyond being exponentially faster than manually configuring devices, the Aegis Configurator also generates a secure log file capturing the settings of individual devices at time of setup,” said Mike McCandless, VP of Sales and Marketing at Apricorn. “We’ve developed these new capabilities with speed and ease of use in mind to address the challenges of today’s overly stretched IT teams.”
The Aegis Configurator is compatible with the following products:
Standard features shared by all Aegis Configurator compatible devices:
The Aegis Configurator is available online for $99.
