We have been developing and manufacturing external encrypted storage devices in Germany since 2005, the HS256 S3 with a certification by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) since 2017 and the Kobra Drive VS and Kobra Stick VS with a certification by the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) and approval for VS-NfD, NATO Restricted and EU Restricted classified data since 2020. All storage devices also bear the sign of trust by the German TeleTrusT "It Security Made in Germany". A unique and core feature of the Kobra Stick VS and Kobra Drive VS series is the patented 2-factor authentication by means of a smartcard and PIN, enabled by the storage devices build-in Smartcard-Reader and PIN Pad. Companies and public authorities use the highly secure storage devices in various application scenarios, including the secure transport of sensitive, VS-NfD-, NATO-Restricted and EU-Restricted classified data, the creation of GDPR compliant backups, the use as a data diode, the use in airgap environments, cloud and VPN access, single sign-on and secure booting of operating systems, also as a remote access and mobile workstation solution. The BSI-certified solutions approved for classified information (VS-NfD, NATO Restricted, EU Restricted) enable authorities and companies to meet the strict requirements of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU-GDPR). The encrypted storage devices of the series Kobra VS allow the design of various data protection related processes in a highly secure, innovative, easy, efficient, and very cost-effective manner.
