Cigent Technology Launches New Cybersecurity Solutions To Thwart Ransomware Attacks And Stop Data Theft Even After A Security Breach

Releases Software and Storage Hardware Products Aimed at Providing File-Level Zero Trust Access and Embedded Advanced Cybersecurity to Prevent Network, Endpoint and Cloud-based Attacks

In-Q-Tel-Backed Cigent Debuts Cybersecurity Technology Previously Only Available to Military and Federal Government

Cigent Technology, an In-Q-Tel-backed start-up, introduced Cigent Data Defense, a breakthrough approach that protects companies and individuals from ransomware, data theft and malicious insider attacks, ending 30 years of failure by the cybersecurity industry.

Cigent Data Defense technology leverages Cigent’s D³E (Dynamic Data Defense Engine) Windows-based software solution and Cigent’s self-defending Secure Solid-State Drives (SSDs). Originally developed for government/military use, Cigent Data Defense technology is now available for commercial use by individuals, small-to-medium-size businesses, corporate enterprises and government entities.

“Companies, individuals, and governments should expect to be hacked, and because of this, cybersecurity protections must evolve. We founded Cigent on this proposition,” said Bradley Rowe, Cigent’s CEO and co-founder. “There is a major gap in cyber protection – data is openly exposed and software-only protections are often easily bypassed by individual hackers or nation-states. This is a dirty little secret that our industry does not like to talk about, but it is the reality.  We take critical data and instantaneously make it completely inaccessible and invisible to adversaries using proprietary and patented techniques originally developed for sensitive governmental use cases.  Ransomware simply cannot encrypt data that suddenly ceases to exist from the operating system point of view. We make life so difficult for bad actors that they’ll simply go somewhere else.”

Cigent Data Defense combines D³E software with Cigent Secure SSDs™, and takes a different approach to protect against data theft and ransomware than previous cybersecurity technology.  Cigent’s D³E for Windows is the first and only data defense software to rely on file-level Zero-Trust access controls to protect sensitive files against any threat. D³E relies on multi-factor authentication and encryption to secure sensitive files anywhere they are shared or stored, even after a security breach. D³E can be used as a standalone software solution or in tandem with Cigent Secure SSDs.

Cigent’s self-defending internal and external Secure SSDs are the second half of the Cigent Data Defense solution. Cigent Secure SSDs are the world’s first and only storage devices to place cybersecurity protections as close to the data as possible — inside the firmware of the device itself. This patented approach defeats data theft by keeping sensitive data inaccessible and hidden below the OS layer and defends against ransomware with machine learning algorithms built into the storage that detect and repel unauthorized attempts to encrypt data. Cigent’s Secure SSDs feature “safe rooms” that protect data at all times with zero trust multi-factor authentication and hardware based encryption, even after the user logs in. They remain invisible to an attacker when not in use and disappear from the OS layer when a threat is detected. When paired or used individually, D³E software and Cigent Secure SSDs provide a layer of protection that is virtually impossible to bypass.
