Cigent Introduces Software Full Drive Encryption Designed for CSfC Compliance

Cigent Technology, Inc. is experiencing rapid growth as demand for its industry-leading solutions accelerates.

The company’s secure storage drives and software protect sensitive and classified data on edge devices, including PCs, servers, manned and unmanned vehicles, and industrial control systems.

The firm’s solutions deliver layered data protection to prevent unauthorized access and meet NSA Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) Data-at-Rest (DAR) compliance requirements. The firm goes beyond securing data at rest with patented capabilities that enable granular access control and verified data sanitization, protecting sensitive information throughout its lifecycle.

As part of its expanding portfolio, Cigent announced the release of its new Software Full Drive Encryption (FDE) with AES-256-bit protection. Purpose-built to meet NSA CSfC DAR standards, the solution is undergoing certification testing. Cigent FDE provides critical inner-layer protection, robust boot integrity, multifactor authentication, and large-scale manageability via command-line interface.

Driven by its unique combination of CSfC-compliant layered security, seamless  procurement, and a team of U.S.-based experts with TS/SCI clearances, Cigent is achieving exceptional commercial momentum. The company has recorded multiple quarters of substantial quarter-over-quarter bookings growth, with significant new partnerships secured with industry-leading FSIs.

To support its rapid growth and evolving mission, Cigent is strengthening its leadership team:

Brett Hansen, previously Cigent’s Chief Operating Officer, has been appointed CEO. In his new role, Mr. Hansen will continue Cigent’s unwavering commitment to supporting customer and partner data security needs while accelerating go-to-market efforts through strategic relationships with federal systems integrators (FSIs) and original design manufacturers (ODMs). Brett Hansen is a seasoned technology executive with prior leadership roles at Dell Technologies and as Chief Growth Officer at high-growth SaaS companies.

Brett Shank has been named VP, product and engineering. Brett Shank brings deep experience from leadership roles at Northrop Grumman and Fornetix and will focus on driving innovation to address emerging threats such as quantum computing, streamlining deployment and management, and expanding enterprise storage capabilities.

“Cigent’s momentum is a reflection of the growing need for robust, layered protection at the edge,” said Brett Hansen, CEO, Cigent. “With a proven product roadmap, strong customer demand, and a passionate, mission-driven team, we are poised to redefine how the U.S. military and FSIs secure data in the most demanding environments.”

With its proven solutions, expanded leadership, and unrelenting focus on mission success, Cigent remains committed to helping U.S. military and federal partners ensure sensitive data is protected wherever it resides.
