ABOUT APRICORN - THE LEADER IN PORTABLE DATA ENCRYPTION

Headquartered in Poway, California, Apricorn provides FIPS validated, hardware-based, 256-bit AES encrypted external storage products to companies and organizations that require high-level protection for their data at rest. From the beginning of our secure product development, all of our internal critical security componentry continues to be sourced from trusted companies from all over the world, originating from countries that remain in good standing with the United States, which means they are NOT from China.

Since we began in 1983, dozens of award-winning innovations have been developed under the Apricorn brand as well as for a number of leading computer manufacturers on an OEM basis.

Apricorn’s unique approach to employing 256-bit internal and portable encryption is particularly valuable for verticals whose data security practices are regulated (e.g., finance, healthcare, education, and insurance.) And for federal, state, and local governments, Apricorn's encrypted USB drives and devices set the standard for data security for both North America and the rest of the world.

Since every Apricorn Aegis drive is encrypted and authenticated exclusively by way of its own onboard keypad and internal hardware, there is never any software involvement in these critical security parameters. As such, Apricorn device CSPs are never shared with that device's host computer. As we continue to create innovations to defend against today’s threats, as well as to anticipate tomorrow’s, rest assured that your secrets are safe with us.
