Safeguard Classified Mission Data

Protect sensitive and classified data before the OS ever loads. Cigent enforces authentication at power on and secures Data at Rest (DAR), protecting mission data on endpoints, servers, and deployed systems using Cigent secure SSDs, Pre-Boot Authentication (PBA), and Software Full Drive Encryption (FDE).

How Cigent Helps

Built for Devices Operating at the Edge

Cigent’s full-stack Data at Rest solution is built for U.S. defense programs operating under strict data protection requirements, including the NSA CSfC Data at Rest Capability Package, where physical access to a device is part of the threat model, not a remote edge case.

Threat assumptions often include:

  • Physical device loss or confiscation
  • Exposure during field operations
  • Credential compromise attempts
  • Offline access to the drive

The Cigent Difference

Cigent enforces authentication at power-on and keeps data encrypted until access is verified. If authentication fails, the system does not boot, reducing exposure to offline access and pre-OS bypass attempts.

Advanced Data Protection

Dual-Layered Encrypytion Approach

Hardware Full Drive Encryption (HW FDE) combined with PBA. This is the outer layer of the dual-layer encryption approach mandated by the Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) Data-at-Rest (DAR) program and provides the first layer of defense. It includes:

  • AES-256 Hardware Encryption
    • Provides robust encryption, safeguarding keys from interception.
  • Pre-Boot Authentication (PBA)
    • Secure login before the operating system loads, defending against boot-level threats.

Designed For Regulated and Mission Critical Data Environments

  • Defense contractors handling controlled data
  • Federal endpoint fleets
  • Distributed and mobile mission teams
  • Regulated and compliance driven deployments

When loss of a single device triggers contractual or reporting consequences, encryption must be enforced at the earliest operational stage.

Outcomes

  • Reduced exposure from lost or stolen endpoints
  • Enforced access control at power on
  • Protection against offline attacks
  • Strengthened compliance alignment
  • Consistent encryption policy enforcement

This is endpoint level Zero Trust applied at system start.
