Cigent protects data on devices operating at the edge from unauthorized access. Cigent solutions secures data at rest with layered protection including hardware encryption, pre-boot authentication, and multifactor authentication. Cigent also ensures data integrity when the device is in use preventing wiping and cloning and other data attacks.
To prevent sophisticated adversaries from unauthorized access requires layered protection. The foundation of Cigent solution is 256-AES full drive hardware encryption with pre-boot and multifactor authentication. These capabilities have been validated by agencies including NSA and NIAP. Additionally, Cigent provides capabilities that ensure the integrity of data through its lifecycle including hidden partitions, storage-embedded AI, and verified data erasure.
Data at rest encryption traditionally refers to the encryption of data when the device is asleep or powered-off. Data at rest encryption seeks to prevent adversaries who gain physical access to the device would seek to extract sensitive data. Cigent uses AES 256 full drive hardware encryption with pre-boot and multifactor authentication. In addition, Cigent uses zero-trust access to control to also protect data when a device is in use. This is with hidden partitions that maintain encryption until it is accessed with step-up authentication.
Cigent provides the widest breadth of secure storage solutions all utilizing hardware encryption. These includes: PCs supporting both M.2 2280 and the emerging M.2 2230 standard, remote servers and NAS devices with U.2 drives, external media with flash drives, encrypted external drives, SD and Micro SD cards, and embedded for SSD BGA.
Yes, Cigent Secure Storage Solutions can support organizations meeting Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) for data at rest including pre-boot authentication requirements. Cigent solutions can also meet FIPS 140-2 and 140-3 standards. Additionally, Cigent can address requirements from Executive Order 14028 including encryption of data at rest, multi-factor authentication, and the utilization of zero-trust access control. Cigent protections have been thoroughly tested and validated by leading Federal agencies including MITRE, NIST, NSA, NIAP, the Air Force, Cyber Resilience of Weapon Systems (CROWS), and NSSIF (UK).
