DigiStor: C Series Self-Encrypting Drives M.2 SSD for Zero Trust Environments and Securing Data at Rest

DigiStor, a CRU Data Security Group LLC (CDSG) brand, announced that its C Series Self-Encrypting Drives (SEDs) are available.

The C Series SEDs, powered by Cigent Technology, Inc., are available for retrofit or integration through Digistor OEM and integrator partners.

They broaden the company’s data security solutions and make it easy to cost-effectively protect sensitive data on laptops, desktops, and other user endpoint devices.

For zero trust architectures, C Series SEDs are available in two versions:

• C Series Select. It provides data invisibility, tamper-proof credentials, and zero trust file access controls. It is available in a variety of form factors based on firm’s off-the-shelf TCG Opal and FIPS 140-2 L2 validated SEDs.

• C Series Advanced. It includes Select capabilities plus additional firmware that provides verified data destruction, secure access logs, and keep-alive heartbeat. It is available in the FIPS 140-2 L2 M.2 NVMe form factor.

“With today’s heightened cyber threats, militaries and governments more than ever need to employ trusted architectures to better protect end-point data at rest. Our new C Series drives add critical zero trust architecture capabilities to our line of secure SEDs making it simpler and more cost effective to secure data at rest than ever before,” said Robin Wessel, EVP, CDSG.

The C Series SEDs augment the company’s self-encrypting SEDs 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 multi-factor authentication, including Windows Hello – facial recognition, fingerprint, PIN, Google Authenticator, and third-party authentication solutions like Cisco Duo.

Additional C Series products are anticipated soon.
