WHY CIGENT
STOP PHYSICAL DATA EXFILTRATION
Cigent protects endpoint data from sophisticated and persistent adversaries by rendering the data invisible.

Endpoint devices may be lost, stolen, or confiscated. Once adversaries have physical access to a device, neither software full disk encryption (FDE) nor self-encrypting drives (SEDs) will prevent data compromise.
- Variety of methods, including tools like Passware Kits, can be used to circumvent software FDE solutions, including Bitlocker
- Lack of proper IT hygiene creates misconfigurations, configuration drift, security app conflicts, weak credentials, and unprotected BIOS, enabling easy access to data
- More sophisticated methods can defeat SEDs, including weak credential exploitation, brute force attacks, chip off, reverse engineering firmware, and many more
- Work from home increases the risk of adversaries gaining physical access to the device
Unmatched Physical Data Security
Invisible Data
Data is unreadable at the sector level until accessed by the trusted user with MFA.
Hacker-proof Credentials
Credentials are cryptographically derived, never stored in their final form, and use the maximum length, making them inaccessible to adversaries.
Direct Attacks to Compromise FDE and SEDs

o1
Weak credentials accessed by probing or using commercially available tools like passware kits
How Cigent differs: Credentials use the maximum length allowed and are cryptographically derived using the user-supplied password
02
Kernel or rootkits attacks alter or manipulate OS allowing encryption keys to be accessed
How Cigent differs: Credentials are never stored in their final form
03
Configuration failures identified utilizing tools like WinHex and R-Studio
How Cigent differs: World experts in advanced data recovery developed secure configurations that address all known configuration failures
04
Advanced methods including brute force attacks, chip off, reverse engineering firmware, x-ray examinations, and chip dumps
How Cigent differs: Data remains unreadable at sector level without Cigent supplied credentials
