Data at Rest Security... Simplified Citadel FIPS-certified self-encrypting drives (SEDs) are the only SSDs to integrate multifactor authentication pre-boot authentication (PBA) and hardware encryption into a complete low cost solution. Pre-Boot Authentication Keeps Intruders Away Powered by CipherDrive® our built-in PBA unlocks access to the encrypted operating system or virtual machine on the Citadel K-MD SSD as well as the data stored there. This secured data is encrypted by NSA-approved Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256-bit encryption at the hardware level. Once booted Citadel allows no-overhead hardware-speed access to encrypted data at the full performance of the system. Multi-Drive Support Unlock one SSD to authorize access to all SSDs. Perfect for tactical servers and other systems with multiple Citadel K-MD SSDs installed. Commercial Solutions for Classified Citadel K-MD's PBA (EE) is CSfC-listed which allows DoD Federal agency and critical infrastructure to protect mission critical and classified data using commercial solutions. NIAP-Listed TAA Compliant and Common Criteria Certified Citadel K-MD SSDs are NIAP-listed TAA compliant have been tested and validated by the US Government to meet its security requirements for their cryptographic module and have been listed by NIST as FIPS 140-2 L2 certified storage devices with NIST Certificate #3926. Wide OS and Hypervisor Compatibility Citadel K-MD SSDs are used in Windows and Linux operating systems as well as with SecureView and Forcepoint. |
