Multiple Windows To Go operating environments on a single drive

SPYRUS Windows To Go Xtreme (WTGXtreme) drives bring a new dimension to the world of Windows To Go operations. The drives build on the features of the award winning SPYRUS Windows To Go family, incorporating the most advanced encryption and security technologies with the greatest versatility in size and performance features in the industry.  WTGXtreme takes an evolutionary leap forward by allowing multiple processing environments with their own independent operational profile on the same drive.  Strong cryptographic separation ensures a high assurance environment for each domain or profile.

Use cases for SPYRUS WTGXtreme with multiple processing environments allow multiple users to share a single device with their own unique cryptographically protected access to their individual Windows profile. In addition, users could have both a Windows 8.1 and a Windows 10 provisioned on a WTGXtreme as organizations transition from one operating system to the next. Or, a system administrator managing multiple networks spanning different administrative domains could use a different profile for managing each network. And finally, users could potentially use a specific profile for multi-domain type of access to different levels of data classification.

Regardless of your application, there is a SPYRUS Windows To Go solution for your needs that can empower your workforce while improving security and saving money in the process.

Certified by Microsoft for Windows 10

To meet the wide range of requirements being faced in today’s mobile computing environment, SPYRUS provides two different models of its Microsoft certified Windows To Go Xtreme (WTGXtreme) drives. Each of these models is built on the same robust hardware platform and is available in a variety of memory sizes ranging from 128GB up to 512 GB; and they all take advantage of SSD memory to provide high performance over a USB 3.0 interface.

A summary of the SPYRUS Certified Windows To Go Xtreme Products and Features is show below for Worksafe Pro™ Xtreme and Secure Portable Workplace™ Xtreme:

XTS-AES 256 Hardware Encryption

Worksafe Pro Xtreme     Secure Portable Workplace Xtreme

SPYRUS WorkSafe™ Pro Xtreme and Secure Portable Workplace Xtreme drives provide some of the strongest military-grade hardware encryption commercially available for full disk encryption to protect data at rest.

Sector-based full disk encryption is based on XTS-AES 256 encryption (NIST SP800-38E).The on-board hardware security infrastructure includes AES CBC, ECDH, ECDSA, ECC P-384, and SHA-384, which together make up the US Government’s Suite B cryptography, part of its cryptographic modernization program. All data encryption is performed in the tamper-resistant, epoxy-coated cryptographic hardware. The access password is never stored on the device, in software, or on a host computer, even in encrypted or hashed form. This safeguards the keys, passwords, and encrypted data from physical attack at all times, whether or not the WorkSafe Pro Xtreme or Secure Portable Workplace Xtreme is connected to a host computer.

Layered Data Security

Worksafe Pro Xtreme     Secure Portable Workplace Xtreme

All SPYRUS Windows To Go drives can be configured with BitLocker software encryption to protect some or all drive partitions and enabling a second layer of Defense-In-Depth encryption. BitLocker passwords are protected in the tamper proof FIPS 140-2 Level 3 encrypted hardware memory partition.

SPYRUS encrypted Windows To Go drives defend the integrity of the operating environment even when booting on compromised systems. SPYRUS patented technology enforces on-the-fly hardware pre-boot integrity validation to enable secure boot while maintaining some of the fastest boot speeds in the industry. WorkSafe Pro Xtreme and Secure Portable Workplace Xtreme perform extensive boot-sequence validations:

• Power-on self-tests validate HW integrity and operations, FW integrity, and cryptographic operations. Any evidence of tampering shuts down boot sequence.
• UEFI computers may validate the SPYRUS Toughboot™ loader to provide seamless secure preboot authentication.The SPYRUS Toughboot loader is signed by Microsoft and meets all Secure Boot criteria for driver and OS loader digital signatures. Toughboot requires a password and authenticates users in HW over secure channel before beginning load sequence.
• Toughboot then decrypts the Windows To Go partition and performs a cryptographic integrity check on the Windows boot loader.
• After passing all tests, the operating system boots. Windows then authenticates user accounts, and users can log in to their Windows accounts.

Built In PKI Smart Card

Worksafe Pro Xtreme   Secure Portable Workplace Xtreme

WorkSafe Pro Xtreme is a Microsoft-certified Windows To Go drives that deliver the identity and rooted authentication capabilities of a full smart card. With WorkSafe, the FIPS 140-2 Level 3/EAL 5+ validated Rosetta Micro hardware security module embedded in all SPYRUS Windows To Go drives can be used as a traditional smartcard token for two factor authentication and other smartcard based PKI security services in you enterprise environment.

When not booted, WorkSafe serves as a readerless USB 3.0 smart card (CCID) that enables you to use your RSA and/or elliptic curve ECDSA digital certificates with any compatible computer.

WorkSafe supports PKCS #11 and Microsoft Minidriver crypto standards. The SPYRUS Minidriver Token Utility for managing the WorkSafe smart card, certificates, and passwords is automatically downloaded from Windows Update when the drive is first booted.

Keys are always generated in hardware on the embedded FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validated Rosetta Micro hardware security controller. To ensure the highest level of security, keys are never exported.

Administrators can reset, restore, revoke, and manage user certificates on the embedded Rosetta smart card with standard smart card management systems such as Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager and with the included SPYRUS Minidriver Token Utility.

When WorkSafe is booted, your digital ID is automatically available for PKI digital certificate functions such as:

• Smart card logon
• File signature or encryption
• Signed/encrypted email
• VPN authentication
• Web authentication

Data Vault Read/Write

Worksafe Pro Xtreme     Secure Portable Workplace Xtreme

Data Vault read/write partition can store changed user files even when Reset Write Protection Read-Only mode is enabled. You can also configure separate BitLocker encryption for the Data Vault and use separate passwords for each instance of BitLocker or the same BitLocker password for both the drive and the Data Vault. All SPYRUS Windows To Go drives can be configured with a Data Vault partition during provisioning.

Read Only Option

Worksafe Pro Xtreme     Secure Portable Workplace 

The Read Only option prevents retention of malware and other unauthorized downloads by resetting all changes to data, OS, and application files (except files in a Data Vault) when the user shuts down the drive. In Read Only mode, your operating system, applications, and data files are completely protected against alteration or infection from outside sources. Use a Read Only Windows To Go drive at an airport kiosk, over WiFi at the coffee shop, or on an untrusted home computer without worry.

SPYRUS Enterprise Management System – Device Management

Worksafe Pro Xtreme   Secure Portable Workplace Xtreme

Coming soon to Worksafe Pro Xtreme and Secure Portable Workplace Xtreme. SPYRUS Windows To Go drives can be managed by an enterprise with the SPYRUS Enterprise Management System (SEMS) for mobile device management (MDM). SEMS features include remote device disable and destroy functions, remote password reset, policy enforcement, transaction auditing, and more.

SEMS provides secure lifecycle management on enterprise domains for USB devices. SEMS-managed drives must have the SEMS client software (separate order, requires licensed server software) installed and be joined to a SEMS domain.

Remotely disabled drives can later be cost-effectively reprovisioned and redeployed.

Bit Locker

Worksafe Pro Xtreme     Secure Portable Workplace Xtreme

All SPYRUS Windows To Go drives can be configured with BitLocker software encryption to protect some or all drive partitions and enabling a second layer of Defense-In-Depth on SPYRUS hardware encrypting drives. BitLocker passwords are protected in the SPYRUS tamper proof FIPS140-2 Level 3 encrypted hardware memory partition.
