Description
The FIPS 140-2 (FIPS Inside - Certificate 4228) Defender HDD350™ military-grade, secure external hard drive provides enhanced security for enterprise organizations, with data protection at its best. The multi-chip embedded cryptographic module is built to FIPS 140-2 NIST standards (National Institute of Standards and Technology). With highly-secure 256-AES hardware encryption (XTS Mode), high-speed USB 3.0 data transfer rates, onboard Endpoint Protection (Antivirus and Antimalware)(1) by award-winning Bitdefender®, and optional remote management capabilities with KRMC, it’s simply the best option for securing sensitive data. Now available with Mac compatibility, it is designed to address the most stringent security regulations and policies for both Mac OS and PC platforms with the greatest of ease. Rather than become subject to the vulnerabilities of cloud storage outages and expensive fees, locking down data in this secure USB storage device isolates it from viruses, malware, spyware, and other internet dangers. Organizations can be confident and in full control of their data at all times.
Additionally, with optional remote management capabilities, administrators can further control the location and security policies of their data by remotely managing the Defender HDD350 anywhere in the world, even with other Kanguru Defender® drives. Kanguru Remote Management Console (KRMC™) provides simple, intuitive tools for tracking and managing data to ensure compliance with even the toughest security policies and regulations.
The Defender HDD350 FIPS 140-2 Validated external hardware encrypted hard drive has automatic data encryption built-in, so there’s no software to install, and no admin rights needed for use. In the background is a powerful cryptographic engine to ensure your data is secure. The Defender HDD350 is available with up to 5TB capacity!

Meet the most stringent federal, healthcare and financial industry security regulations, including GDPR, HIPAA, Sarbanes Oxley, GLBA, and more with this FIPS 140-2 Certified hardware encrypted USB hard drive. FIPS 140-2 is a joint Certification program between NIST (National Institute of Standards) in the United States and CSE (Communications Security Establishment) in Canada. It provides government guidelines regarding the security evaluation for cryptographic modules. Kanguru Solutions demonstrates that by meeting the level 2 threshold of FIPS 140-2, the Defender HDD350 has strong, tamper-evident protections in place to prevent unauthorized access, attack, or brute force attempts to gain access to the sensitive data.
AES 256-bit Hardware encryption is the backbone of every Kanguru Defender drive's security, providing top tier performance unmatched by software encryption solutions. In addition, the Defender HDD350 utilizes XTS Mode, the best encryption module available today, along with password matching and security functions contained in the cryptographic chip, meaning that the encryption can not be compromised, further ensuring your data's security.
Kanguru Defender encrypted USB drives are easy to use, now more than ever with the new built-in Command Console.

Protect even more than just your data. Protect your network and infrastructure as well from malware tampering with built-in Secure Firmware. Designed in compliance with NIST's requirements for securing device firmware, this drive is protected from "badUSB" to prevent malware attacks by a third party. This makes it an ideal, trusted encrypted USB drive for whitelisting in an endpoint security environment.
This hardware encrypted HDD350 offers USB 3.0 technology (USB 3.2 Gen 1x1) for lightning-fast data transfers. Connecting the Defender HDD350 to a USB 3.0 supported USB port provides superior read / write speeds for quick, easy and convenient transfer of data. Note: The new Defender HDD350 is NOT backwards compatible with USB2.0.
The Kanguru Defender HDD350 hardware encrypted hard drive comes with integrated onboard AntiVirus by Bitdefender® (30-day FREE trial)(1). Built right into the drive, the anti-virus consistently scans the drive in the background, ensuring that all of your files will be safe and protected from viruses.
The Kanguru Defender HDD350 prevents physical access to the chip. Any subversive attempt to remove or tamper with the chip destroys it, rendering it unusable and inaccessible.
