FIPS 140 CAVP validation represents a significant recognition of the TeraStation's robust security, as well as Buffalo's commitment to data security. As Buffalo’s flagship product, the TeraStation 71210RH was awarded CRN’s 2023 Product of the Year award in the SMB category for its innovative technology. Along with Buffalo’s existing FIPS 140-2 validated Windows Server IoT 2019 NAS lineup, this further positions Buffalo Americas as an ideal data storage solutions provider for the public sector – including federal government agencies, law enforcement, government contractors, and other industries that handle sensitive data and require strict security compliance.
