Offerings deliver Full Drive Encryption,
protect against cloning and wiping, and provide remote data
erasure.
Cigent® Technology, Inc., the leader in secure storage for data
protection at the edge, announces new secure storage drives to
ensure data security for the broadest array of devices of any
secure storage provider.
Cigent’s family of solutions, originally developed for and with
U.S. federal agencies, protect against evolving threats that risk
data integrity, including both physical attacks, such as cloning
and wiping, and remote attacks. The solutions that Cigent brings to
market today address the rampant proliferation of devices at the
edge, with insufficient protections to ensure that data is
protected.
Today, Cigent expands their portfolio with additional secure
storage form factors providing critical data protection for systems
operating at the edge, including emerging technologies such as
unmanned vehicles. They offer powerful and federally certified
protections with full-drive hardware encryption, wiping and cloning
prevention, and remote data erasure. New solutions include:
- Secure Storage SSD BGA - provides new hardware
encryption protection that can be embedded in devices. Meeting
automotive, and Air Force temperature requirements of -40° to 105°C
for operation in extreme conditions, it offers effective protection
for data for unmanned vehicles, IoT, OT, and other edge devices.
Secure Storage 2230 - provides protection of PCs and
tablets. The 2230 drive supports new preferred drive configuration
from leading PC manufacturers including Microsoft Surface, Dell
Latitude, and HP EliteBooks. Cigent is the only solution in the
market providing NSA CSfC-certified pre-boot authentication (PBA)
and full drive hardware encryption for modern PCs. Like the Secure
Storage SSD BGA, Secure Storage 2230 meets automotive and Air Force
temperature requirements, ensuring the drive can operate in extreme
environments.
- Secure Storage SD and MicroSD cards - provide
hardware-encrypted data protection with small form factors.
Supporting Linux and Windows OS and meeting industrial temperature
requirements, they provide flexible, robust protection for a
variety of systems including PCs, tablets, OT, and unmanned
vehicles, ensuring data security mission requirements.
All solutions can be managed from an enterprise management
console streamline administration. In addition to the full drive
encryption, all Cigent Secure Storage solutions have the ability to
create hidden partitions to store the most sensitive data and allow
remote erasure of data using a combination of crypto and full block
wiping.
Emerging technologies and evolving mission requirements are
driving significant expansion of sensitive data at the edge. A
growing portfolio of systems are collecting, processing, and
storing sensitive data. Cigent provides unparalleled breadth of
hardware-encrypted secure storage devices that allow program
managers to meet compliance mandates and ensure data remains
protected. Protections have been verified by experts including NSA,
NIAP, and MITRE, and are in use by many U.S. government
organizations requiring the highest level of protection.
“With these additional storage devices, Cigent brings
leading-edge data security and failsafe, certified data erasure
innovation to environments such as military, homeland and extreme
data sensitivity missions,” said Cigent CEO and co-founder John
Benkert.
“Today’s introductions provide operators with a single portfolio
and partner to ensure sensitive data at the edge is protected –
against today’s threats and tomorrow’s, in the most sensitive and
potentially hostile environments.”
Benkert previously served 20 years in USAF Intelligence and
seven in the NSA, and was honored with the National Scientific
Achievement Award for technological innovations in data
security.
Cigent storage can be configured and administered at scale
through a management console and an efficient Command Line
Interface (CLI) tool. Cigent and its ecosystem of device, vehicle,
and system integrator partners are ready to support procurement,
delivery and deployment requirements.
