Digistor announced its Series C secure SSDs, the company’s first SSDs to add Cigent D³E cybersecurity software. The new SSDs broaden the company’s comprehensive solutions and virtually eliminate the barrier to securing data at rest (DAR) with military-grade encryption for hardware and software. Additionally, the full line of FIPS 140-2 L2 certified SSDs are undergoing Common Criteria certification. The C Series SSDs augment Digistor self-encrypting SSDs with easily implemented, flexible file-level encryption and allow users to choose whether files are always locked or dynamically locked based on AI threat detection. Once locked, files are available only to authenticated individuals. The C Series supports multifactor authentication, including Windows Hello - Facial Recognition, Fingerprint, PIN, Google Authenticator, and third-party authentication solutions like Cisco Duo. The new Citadel GL SSD extends pre-boot authentication (PBA) to UAVs, sensors, appliances, and other “headless” applications. In addition, they prevent unauthorized access to data where no monitor or screen is available for user interaction.
