Dataway Security Announces Availability of the New iStorage datAshur PRO+A
Why the datAshur PRO+A is the New Standard
While the original datAshur PRO established a benchmark for portable data security, modern cyber threats require even stricter compliance and hardware resilience. The datAshur PRO+A delivers a significant upgrade, transitioning to the latest cryptographic and physical security certifications.
FIPS 140-3 Level 3
Upgraded from FIPS 140-2, ensuring compliance with the most recent and rigorous government security standards.
Advanced Microchip
Integrates a Common Criteria EAL5+ secure microprocessor to thwart advanced physical and side-channel attacks.
Brute Force Defense
Enhanced crypto-erase mechanisms permanently destroy the encryption key after consecutive incorrect PIN attempts.
Host Independent
Requires no software. Works natively with Windows, macOS, Linux, Chrome OS, Android, and embedded systems.
Direct Comparison: datAshur PRO+A vs. datAshur PRO
The datAshur PRO+A retains the user-friendly alphanumeric keypad design but completely overhauls the internal architecture to provide superior security and durability against modern attack vectors.
iStorage datAshur PRO+A
For military, healthcare, and strictly regulated corporate environments
The datAshur PRO+A introduces a dedicated secure microprocessor designed to provide ultimate protection against differential power analysis (DPA) and electromagnetic attacks.
With its FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification, it represents the absolute pinnacle of portable data security for organizations that cannot compromise on compliance.
