Protection Against the Most Advanced Threat Vectors

Well-funded nation state actors who gain physical access to a device will compromise standard protection. Advanced exfiltration techniques include reverse engineering, firmware tampering, quantum compute attacks, and utilizing electron microscopes to extract data from the chip. Cigent’s COTS solution is the only solution that ensures data is protected against these and all other techniques, tactics, and procedures (TTPs).

Why Cigent?

Partners to Achieve your Mission Requirements.

Cigent arose from the Intelligence Community with unequal expertise in data recovery and sanitization. With 9 patents and 6 in review, Cigent has the expertise and technical capabilities to support your specific mission requirements.
Agent-proof Usability Without Compromising Protection
With decades of experience providing data security solutions to field personnel, Cigent recognizes security that undermines a user's ability to execute their mission is useless. Cigent solutions deliver unparalleled protections and deliver a simple user experience that is intuitive to even non-technical personnel.
Drive and Data Access and Usage Visibility
Go beyond simply protecting your data and know what has happened with your drive when it wasn’t in your presence. Whether you intentionally or unintentionally left it somewhere unattended (such as the “super secure” hotel room safe) or you gave your drive to a “friend”, know when your device has been moved, accessed, tampered with, attempted to be cloned/wiped/accessed or altered.
Emergency Erasure Verified at the Individual Block Level
As confident as we are in our security, there is no greater assurance that your data is safe than simply ensuring it is no longer there at all. We implore a variety of approaches, often automated, to wipe your data when you need it gone in a hurry, and not before. And we verify that the data is truly completely gone using advanced, patented firmware based verification of every single block on the drive.
Storage Options for Every Device
From everyday PCs to external media to server storage, USB sticks and SD cards and Micro SD cards, and even embedded storage for any device, we have the storage to meet your unique mission requirements.
Custom Development
With a team of experts knowledgeable in multiple coding languages developing scriptable, automated, and/or graphical user interface applications, we can develop a solution specific to your mission requirements, integrating with other applications or simply developing APIs for you to leverage from your own tools.
