Unfortunately, even in 2022, “secure” portable storage devices with 256-bit AES hardware encryption and sometimes also biometric technology are sold that are actually not secure when taking a closer look. Because in case of loss or theft of such a storage device, you want to be quite sure that unauthorized access to your confidential data is not possible. During a research project in the beginning of 2022, SySS IT security expert Matthias Deeg found several security vulnerabilities in different tested USB flash drives with AES hardware encryption.Įncrypting sensitive data at rest has always been a good idea, especially when storing it on small, portable devices like external hard drives or USB flash drives.
