Apricorn是无软件、256位AES XTS硬件加密USB 3.2存储设备的领先制造商，已推出Aegis Secure Key 3NXC，这是同类设备中第一款带有USB-C接口的设备。这使得它成为唯一一款与下一代笔记本电脑、智能手机、平板电脑和集线器兼容的硬件加密flashkey，而不需要单独的a-to-C适配器。
Designed with the USB 3.2 ports of the next generation of computers, tablets, smartphones and hubs, the Secure Key 3NXC is Apricorn’s–and the market’s–first hardware-encrypted flash key to be compatible with USB 3.2 C-ports without the aid of a separate A-to C adapter. Like its predecessor, the Secure Key 3NX, the Secure Key 3NXC line is priced to economically and efficiently protect the data of the expanding global remote workforce while delivering all of the advanced security features found in the Aegis family of secure drives. By offering a range of 6 storage capacities from 4 GB to 128 GB, the Secure Key 3NXC allows the IT admin to closely align the device capacity with the storage needs of each individual employee, reducing overall cost of deployment. Prices range from $59 to $179.
Apricorn的销售总监库尔特·马克利说， 即使在2019冠状病毒疾病流行之前，远程和移动工作也在兴起。随着全球劳动力从办公室转移到家庭，一夜之间，对我们加密的安全密钥的需求急剧上升，对我们的A－C适配器的需求也随之加速。我们加速了AEGIS安全密钥3NXC的发布，以确保使用MacBook、iPad和Android D的员工的有效方式。设备可以安全地存储和移动敏感数据，无论它们在哪里工作。”
Aegis Secure Key 3NXC完善了Secure Key 3NX系列，Apricorn不断更新该系列，以应对国防、金融、政府、制造和医疗等高度监管行业不断变化的安全威胁和业务需求。3NXC的诞生是为了应对一个越来越小、越来越薄、无法容纳USB-a端口的笔记本电脑和平板电脑市场。
“While most computers and laptops still offer both A and C connector ports, the number of those who exclusively committing to type C continues to grow year over year,” says Markley. “USB isn’t just there for peripherals or charging phones anymore, but to power up these machines on that same port. We are developing with this next generation of computers in mind, and at the same time, continuing to manufacture type A devices for those who need them for the foreseeable future.”
Standard features shared with the Aegis family include onboard keypad authentication, 256-bit AES XTS hardware encryption, complete cross-platform compatibility, read-only options, separate admin and user access, data recovery PINs, programmable PIN lengths, and Aegis Configurator compatibility.
3NX系列提供了一个在任何其他硬件加密设备上都不可用的独特功能：能够在固定磁盘和可移动媒体之间切换（美国专利号10338840）。FIPS 140-2三级验证，预计今年晚些时候进行。
