The future of cloud data security
cloudAshur is the perfect solution for anyone wanting to securely store, share, manage and monitor data in the cloud. cloudAshur eliminates the security vulnerabilities that exist with cloud platforms, such as lack of control and unauthorised access. Hackers are devising many sophisticated methods to target innocent and vulnerable users. Human error is also prevalent amongst data leakage incidents.
The consequences of a cloud account being hacked can bring about theft and leakage of confidential data, leading to potential job losses, adverse publicity, hefty fines and the downfall of a business.

Five factor authentication
Something you have
- The cloudAshur hardware security module
Something you know
- 7-15 digit Admin/User configurable PIN
- Username and password for the iStorage cloudAshur Windows or macOS client app
- Where the data is stored, which cloud provider
- Username and password for the cloud account
BRUTE FORCE HACK DEFENCE MECHANISM
Intelligently programmed to protect against all forms of brute force attacks.
If the User PIN is entered incorrectly 10 consecutive times, the User PIN will be deleted and the drive can only be accessed by entering the Admin PIN in order to reset the User PIN. (Admin can change this from the default 10 incorrect PIN entries, to 1-9, for the User only)
If the Admin PIN is entered incorrectly 10 consecutive times, all PINs and the encrypted encryption key will be lost forever.

FIPS Level 3 compliant tamper proof & evident design
All critical components within the cloudAshur enclosure are covered by a layer of super tough epoxy resin, which is virtually impossible to remove without causing permanent damage to the critical components.
If breached, the cloudAshur modules tamper evident design will provide visible evidence that tampering has occurred.
User PIN enrolment
The Admin can set a restriction policy for the user PIN. This includes setting the minimum length of the PIN, as well as requiring the input of one or more ‘Special Character’ if needed.
The ‘Special Character’ functions as ‘SHIFT
+ digit’
One-time User recovery PIN
The Admin can program the cloudAshur with a one-time recovery PIN. This is extremely useful in situations where a User has forgotten the PIN to authenticate the cloudAshur.
This feature allows the User to enter the Recovery PIN and configure a new User PIN.
Whitelisting on networks
Configured with a unique VID/PID and internal/external serial number with barcode, allowing easy integration into standard end-point management software (white-listing), to meet internal corporate requirements.
cloudAshur KeyWriter
cloudAshur KeyWriter (patent pending) makes sharing of data in the cloud, via email and file transfer services (e.g. WeTransfer) between authorised users a breeze with ultimate security and peace of mind, allowing users to securely share data with one another, in real-time, regardless of their location.
Key features
cloudAshur KeyWriter copies all critical security parameters including the randomly generated encryption key and all PINs between the Master cloudAshur module and as many secondary cloudAshur modules as required using any off the shelf USB hub, allowing authorised users to securely share data with one another, in real-time, regardless of their location.
The critical security parameters never leave the cloudAshur module and are stored in the Common Criteria EAL4+ ready secure microprocessor.
The process of copying the encrypted encryption key and all critical credentials between the Master cloudAshur module and the Secondary cloudAshur modules is protected by a secure protocol incorporated within the iStorage cloudAshur secure microcontroller. The protocol is implemented using cryptographic algorithms, all of which are FIPS certified. Every cloudAshur has a unique certificate issued by a root of trust, which ensures that only iStorage cloudAshur modules can be used during the key exchange process.
The cloudAshur modules never output the established session key when running the secure protocol and the sensitive data being copied is only decrypted in the validated recipient cloudAshur module. The iStorage KeyWriter software running on the PC coordinates the operations required by the secure protocol, however the software has zero visibility of both the session key and decrypted data, making it impossible for a hacker to access or retrieve any critical security parameters stored within the cloudAshur module.
cloudAshur Remote Management
Gives you full control of all cloudAshur hardware security modules deployed within your organisation offering a wide range of features to manage all users.
Key features
iStorage Remote Management Console provides the Administrator full visibility and control over the following:
Temporarily disable or reset (remote kill) Users cloudAshur modules - in the event of suspicious activity or an employee leaving the organisation without returning their cloudAshur encryption module.
Restrict file types – control what file types are being uploaded and shared in the cloud (EXE, PNG, PDF, etc…) View User’s log files – full visibility over what each User is doing in the cloud, such as, what files they are uploading, downloading, modifying, etc…
Display User’s location – You can view the location of User’s cloudAshur modules via an on-screen map.
Geofencing and Time fencing - restrict the time and location of where and when the cloudAshur encryption module can be used by each individual User.
iStorage Remote Management Console is compatible with Windows (Vista/7/8/10).

More about iStorage cloudAshur Encryption Module USB-flashdrive
Cryptochip
CloudAshur offers a Cryptochip with the device that works 100 percent real-time. It has military grade AES-XTS or AES-ECB 256-bit hardware encryption with FIPS PUB 197 certified USB 3.0 encryption controller. This means that the chip is equipped with high quality encryption, which means that the data is stored at a high level of security, also because a bit key is required to gain access.
EAL4+ ready secured microprocessor
This microprocessor offers the ultimate protection against hackers. Thanks to special hardware, the processor detects and responds to SPA / DPA / SEMA - and DEMA attacks. These are, for example, attacks that steal data and for which you must take action according to the Data Protection Act. It also offers advanced protection against physical attacks, including Active Shield, Enhanced Protection Object, CStack checker, Slope Detector and parity errors.
Five factor authentication
Only after agreeing on five different points, the Module can be used: inserting the cloudAshur hardware security module, entering the 7-15 digit PIN code, entering the username and password of the iStorage cloudAshur client app, the location of the data (the cloud provider) and the username and password of the cloud account.
Brute force anti-hack defense mechanism
If the PIN code is entered incorrectly ten times (less is also adjustable), it will be deleted and the user will no longer be able to access it. Only the admin PIN code can be used to gain access and set a new user PIN code. This prevents an old PIN code from being used and ex-employees will no longer be able to log in.

FIPS Level 3 Compliant Tamper-Resistant Design
The essential parts of the cloudAshur casing have a layer of epoxy resin. This is rock hard and almost impossible to remove without permanently damaging the parts. If someone tries to break in physically, there will be clear signs of damage.
Record the user PIN code
When it comes to the user PIN, the administrator can implement a policy of restrictions. For example, he or she can choose to require a minimum PIN length or make special characters in a PIN mandatory.
One-time recovery PIN
If a user has forgotten their PIN code, the administrator can use cloudAshur to provide a one-time recovery PIN code. This allows the user to access their documents once with the PIN code, but a new PIN code must be set for further use.
Whitelisting on networks
The cloudAshur Encryption Module USB drive is designed with a unique VID/PID and internal/external serial number with barcode. This allows for easy integration with common endpoint management software, such as whitelisting. This allows users and the administrator to meet internal corporate requirements.
