VALUE

Unparalleled Protection Against Ransomware and Data Attacks

6
Effortless protection for your sensitive endpoint data without compromising user experience.

Cigent Data Defense employs layered protection to prevent unauthorized access to the data when a device has been compromised.  With data protected, users remain productive during threats. There is no need to isolate or disconnect. 

  • Control Access
    Data remains protected after device is unlocked preventing unauthorized access.
  • Secured Drives
    Attackers cannot compromise what they cannot find within hidden drives.
  • Instant Protection 
    AI enabled data monitoring and integration with EDR solutions identify attacks and instantly limits access.

THREAT

Ransomware is
Rampant

Current detect and respond paradigm is insufficient. Ransomware and other attacks continue to compromise endpoints at an alarming rate.  Adoption of AI by attackers will only accelerate the volume, sophistication, and targeting of attacks.  The rate of infection and compromise will continue.

Money Lost From Attacks
$ 1.1 billion

Ransomware gangs collected record $1.1 billion from attacks in 2023 (Axios)

Data Encryption
76 %

66% of organizations experienced a ransomware attack in the past year, with 76% of those attacks resulting in data encryption (Sophos)

Ransomware Strains
130

Since 2020, there have been more than 130 different ransomware strains detected (Virus Total)

Capabilities

PROTECT the Data

Stop ransomware and other threats by securing the data 

Cigent’s approach of protecting the data itself ensures data remains protected regardless if the device has been compromised.  Protecting against any threat vector, Cigent’s patented layered protection eliminates the ability of attackers to access endpoint data.   And by focusing on the data itself there is minimal end user disruption and virtually no administrative overhead.  

This potent combination of capabilities stops ransomware and all other endpoint data attacks.  Granular persona policies and AI monitoring minimize exposure without disrupting user experience. 


Cigent Data Defense novel protection includes:  
  

Zero-trust Access Control

Zero-trust Access Control

  • Trust, but verified, policy-driven step-up-authentication access control –files remain protected from unauthorized access.  Users access is frictionless with integration with all major authentication solutions.
  • Granular policy control can be set by file-type, specific folders.

  • Always-on or risk-based policy enforcement.  Based on risk-profile policy, access controls are implemented when a threat is detected, when user access thresholds have been reached (i.e., number of open files), and environment (i.e., using non-trusted network).

Hidden Drives

Hidden Drives

  • Data is completely invisible to malware, unauthorized users, and alternate operating systems.
  • Attackers cannot see or locate data even when a device is compromised. Protects 
    against remote and physical attacks.
  • Set and forget capability no overhead for IT administrators

*When SED (i.e. OPAL drive) is available

AI Secured Storage

AI Empowered Monitoring

  • Data is instantly locked when threat is detected
  • Unique AI monitoring of data itself for anomalous access patterns
  • Integration with EDR, SIEM, and SOC solutions providing additional alerts
