Secure Drive

Use D3E to easily set up hardware-encrypted Safe Rooms on the Secure SSD. Designated files are not just inaccessible to an attacker or unauthorized party; they remain completely invisible until mounted by the user via a step-up authentication.  Once mounted, if D3E or your antivirus software detects a threat, Secure Drives auto-lock until the threat is cleared and the authorized user re-authenticates.

Coexist with Bitlocker Full-Disk Encryption

Cigent Secure Drives can be installed on systems that support Bitlocker Full-Disk Encryption, creating a more granular approach to encryption—one that’s both threat-aware and more secure than software-based encryption. The effect of these security measures is that sensitive files are accessible for a very limited time and only on an as needed basis by the trusted user.

Keep Alive

Common techniques of attackers include disabling security software, booting from an alternate O/S, and removing the drive. Cigent Secure SSD uses a Keep Alive heartbeat in the firmware that constantly ensures designated cyber security software is running, including D3E. If not, all Secure Drives automatically encrypt and can not be bypassed.

Hide Important Files With Dual Mode

Use D3E to set up a hidden drive that remains invisible to the operating system until you flip into it using multi-factor authentication.  Dual Mode enables numerous use cases:  segment your system into work vs personal usage—hide ultra-sensitive files from would-be attackers on the hidden drive—install two different operating systems and share your system with another user.

Secure Access Logs

Advanced attackers always wipe their tracks, deleting system and data access logs. Cigent Secure SSD captures and protects  comprehensive, firmware-secured data access logs and audit trails that cannot be wiped. Access logs are stored for incident response, non-repudiation, and litigation use.

TrueErase

Cigent Secure SSD is the first and only SSD to include TrueErase™,  firmware verification that reports each block’s erased or unerased state after a wipe attempt, allowing the trusted user to safely repurpose their device, retire it, or ship it for destruction, saving money on expensive media and allowing you to implement a green policy to storage device lifecycle management.
