Data Protection for all of your Devices

As technology and mission requirements evolve, there's a growing proliferation of devices containing sensitive data at the edge. Cigent offers the most extensive portfolio of secure storage devices, positioning us as a single trusted partner to protect all endpoint data
PCs and Tablets
PCs are essential tools for processing and storing sensitive data. To safeguard data integrity, it's crucial to use full-drive hardware encryption with pre-boot authentication (PBA).
Servers
Increasing edge computing requirements are driving server utilization outside secure data centers. Servers, which store and process significant data, are becoming more compact and lighter, with some weighing as little as 25 pounds.
External Media
External media comprises various storage devices, including flash drives, external storage devices, and SD and MicroSD Cards. Storage advancements allow these small form factors to hold substantial amounts of sensitive data.
Embedded Devices
Embedded devices are flash memory with Ball Grid Array (BGA) for surface-mount packaging, used in integrated circuits. These storage devices are designed to be embedded within a device.
Unmanned Vehicles
Unmanned vehicles (UV) are rapidly expanding and transforming with increasing data storage needs. Operating in high-risk environments, UVs carry sensitive data, including valuable algorithms that require protection.

What does Cigent do?

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. Secure Storage includes patented capabilities that verify data erasure to provide end-to-end lifecycle protection.

How does Cigent work?

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.

What agencies does Cigent support?

Cigent secure storage solutions have been validated by NSA and DISA and can be used across United States Department of Defense, Defense Contractors, and other Federal agencies with sensitive and classified data.

Have Cigent Secure Storage been tested and validated?

Yes, Cigent secure storage have been tested, vetted and deployed by US Federal Agencies and with key Defense Contractors and Integrators. Federal agencies include MITRE, NIST, NSA, NIAP, the Air Force, Cyber Resilience of Weapon Systems (CROWS), and NSSIF (UK). Additionally leading CSfC integrators, including Booz Allen Hamilton District Defend, AFRL’s SecureView, Everfox Trusted Thin Client, Integrated Global Security, Army APG, and CACI ID Tec’s Archon utilize Cigent Secure Storage.

What is data-at-rest encryption?

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.
