The CipherShield Encrypted Drive delivers a new generation of portable, high-speed, and hardware-encrypted storage—perfect for professionals, businesses, and agencies that demand military-grade data protection.

In today’s world, where personal and business data are routinely harvested for misuse, including AI-driven deepfake creation, CipherShield provides a secure haven for your most sensitive files. Whether you’re a government official, healthcare provider, lawyer, or concerned individual, this drive ensures your data stays yours.

Featuring two key models available, Mode 0 and Mode 1, users can choose based on the environment:
