Protecting Sensitive and Classified Data at the Edge

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 include: 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.
