Module description
Cigent Secure SSD Advanced FIPS is the most effective endpoint data protection. Firmware renders secured portions of the drive unreadable at the sector level. Keys derived from user supplied credentials use the maximum length allowed and are never stored in their final form. Zero-trust file access requires MFA to access files stopping data breach and ransomware for in-use data. Keep Alive heartbeat detects if Cigent software is disabled and automatically hides data. Secure data access logs are stored in firmware and cannot be wiped. Data destruction verification ensures complete data erasure.
