CipherShield Dual-Key Encryption: Maximum Data Protection

The CipherShield 2FA system requires two unique CipherKeys for authentication, offering two key models for different security needs:

  • Colateral Mode: Two unique keys can be inserted and removed while powered on. The drive stays authenticated until powered off. Ideal for environments where manual key insertion is feasible, such as local offices.
