Seagate FIPS 140-2 and TAA Compliant Self-Encrypting Drives Available for Government Through Carahsoft

Devices help protect data-at-rest, mitigating security risks associated with mobile workforce.

Seagate Government Solutions, a US-based subsidiary of Seagate and Carahsoft Technology Corp., a government IT solutions provider, announced a partnership.

Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as a public sector distributor for Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliant Seagate Secure Self-Encrypting Drives (SEDs) with FIPS 140-2 Level 2 certification. TAA compliant Seagate SEDs help agencies mitigate security risk, achieve regulatory compliance and provide transparent, robust security.

Seagate was the first company to offer disk drives that achieve the FIPS 140-2 Level 2 certification. FIPS 140-2 Level 2 is the worldwide standard for cryptographic modules certification from the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Canadian Communications Security Establishment Certification (CSEC).

In addition, Seagate is also the only HDD drive manufacturer with products to qualify as ‘Designed in the USA’ via US Customs and Border Protection and to meet the TAA requirements for the GSA Schedule and other US Government contracts.

Seagate SEDs are used to protect Data at Rest and reduce IT drive retirement costs-two key goals of every government agency,” said Craig P. Abod, Carahsoft president. “With Seagate in our portfolio, we are now able to offer our government customers and reseller partners the widest selection of FIPS 140-2 certified SEDs to prevent the loss and theft of sensitive data and achieve regulatory compliance.

Seagate is the pioneer in Data at Rest (DAR) protection and media disposal with SEDs. Secure and compliant SEDs offer performance and TCO advantages over CPU and disk encryption methods while being streamlined enough for a one-person IT department to manage and maintain.

We are excited to work with Carahsoft to bring these new, certified drives to the government market, as we know they can solve the critical challenges around data security that concern IT teams and government employees alike,” said Deb Oliver, president, Seagate government solutions.

Seagate’s line of TAA compliant enterprise and laptop self-encrypting drives are available through Carahsoft.
