Data Protection Solutions for Unmanned Vehicles
Unmanned Vehicles (UxV) have established themselves as an essential element in military and civilian operations. Operating at the edge, sensitive data including valuable proprietary algorithms, mission information, and data gathered during mission is susceptible if the device goes missing. Cigent solutions provide layered protections to ensure the integrity of data on UxV.
Benefits
Data Protection for UxV
Providing layered data protection capabilities across its lifecycle, Cigent supports an array of secure storage options. Protection solutions include 2230 drives, SSD BGA, and SD and MicroSD cards with options that support industrial and automotive temperature standards.
Data at Rest Protection
All Cigent Secure Storage Solutions provide AES 256 full drive hardware encryption. 2230 drives include pre boot and multifactor authentication.
Hidden Partitions
Ability to create separate locked partitions where data is unreadable at the sector level. Adversary unable to detect secure enclaves.
Data Erasure
By policy or remote activation of data erasure utilizing crypto and block erasure. 2230 drives provide block-by-block analysis verifying all data has been erased.
Enterprise Administration
Scalable management of Secure Storage including on prem and cloud management console and Command Line Interface (CLI) tool that runs in Linux and Windows.

Unmanned vehicles collect, process, and warehouse significant data. This data can include mission information, data gathered during the mission, algorithms and other proprietary information enabling the vehicle. Unmanned vehicles are operating in uncontrolled environments where they risk being compromised through accidental loss or intentional actions. Even in the event of a physical accident any sensitive data is likely still accessible. To ensure the integrity of data on the vehicle it is imperative that robust protections are in place.
Protecting sensitive data from advanced threat actors requires layers of protection. Software encryption provides a basic level of protection but can be defeated using a variety of techniques and technologies. This is why the NSA, DISA, NIAP and other leading experts require full drive hardware encryption to meet standards including CSfC for data at rest and FIPS 140-2. Ideally organizations use a combination of software and hardware encryption with pre boot authentication and multifactor authentication providing layers of protection that can defeat the most sophisticated threat actors.
Cigent provides multiple secure storage to support Unmanned Vehicle operations. These include M.2 2230 SSD that provides full drive hardware encryption, the ability to create up to eight separate hidden partitions, and patented verified data erasure. Additionally, Cigent offers SSD BGA with full drive hardware encryption, the ability to create hidden partitions, and remote and policy data erasure. Both of these drives have Automotive temperature ratings. Additionally, Cigent provides the flexibility and security of hardware encryption on SD and MicroSD cards. These also include the ability to create hidden partitions and data erasure and have Industrial temperature ratings.
Yes, 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).
