Self-encrypting SSD data storage for trusted computing in military and intelligence introduced by DIGISTOR
CAMPBELL, Calif. – DIGISTOR, a CRU Data Security Group (CDSG) company in Campbell, Calif., is introducing the DIGISTOR Citadel secure self-encrypting solid-state drives (SSDs) for military, intelligence, and critical infrastructure applications.
The Citadel data storage systems are powered by CipherDrive, and deliver a security layer to encrypt and protect data at rest in a low-cost, deployable form factor. The drives meet standards of the National Security Agency (NSA) Commercial Solutions for Classified program (CSfC).
The proliferation of sensor and Internet of things data, cross-domain computing, and information aggregation are driving a rapid increase in cyber attacks, company officials say.
Citadel SSDs are based on data storage technology that is certified to FIPS 140-2 Level 2 and Common Criteria, and are available in standard M.2 and 2.5-inch form factors, as well as SATA and NVMe interfaces, for commonly used laptops, desktops, and tactical servers.
In addition to helping meet cost targets, Citadel self-encrypting SSDs contain pre-boot authentication, which requires that an authorized user unlock the SSD with a password or smart card before the computer can see the drive or boot up.
Citadel's authorization acquisition and encryption engine capabilities make Citadel SSDs suitable for a trusted computing CSfC solution to secure information up to the U.S. government's secret classification level.
Concurrently, CDSG announced that Trenton Systems Inc. in Lawrenceville, Ga., will offer Citadel SSDs in the company's next and future generations of rugged servers, workstations, embedded systems, data storage systems, and other products for the government market.
