KOBRA Drive VS with 2-Factor-Authentication incl. 2 ATOS EAL 4+ Smartcards SSD

The KOBRA VS storage devices are encrypted USB-C memory sticks, hard disks and SSDs that correspond to the current state of technology as regulated by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). They enable the GDPR-compliant storage, safeguarding and secure transport of sensitive, personal, classified and confidential data up to the classification level RESTEINT UE/EU RESTRICTED, NATO RESTRICTED and German VS-NfD (classified public sector information) for public authorities and companies. A key feature of the Kobra VS series is the physical separation of the encryption and decryption key and the storage device. The encryption and decryption key is stored on the smartcard, not on the storage device, whereby it is not possible to access the device without being in possession of the smartcard.  

In addition to DIGITTRADE smartcards, existing PKI-based company ID-, Service- and Troop ID Cards can be used for authentication. In terms of confidentiality, all data stored on the Kobra VS storage devices is protected against unauthorized access in case of loss or theft of the device.
