Introduction

The advanced cybersecurity defenses built into the operating firmware of C Series s SSD repel

ransomware attacks and prevent data theft even when all other cybersecurity protections fail

or are bypassed. When used in conjunction with Cigent® for Windows, C Series SSDs protect

data throughout the entire device lifecycle— - - —from provisioning to end of life defending

against a vast number of threat vectors.

Available in NVMe internal and external FIPS and non FIPS configurations, the C Series SSD is

offered four in —sizes 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB. It can be installed as the primary storage

device on a Windows PC where the O/S runs, as secondary internal storage (such as in a

desktop tower), or as external media plugged into a USB port.

DIGISTOR has partnered with Cigent to provide Cigent for Windows (Cigent), a new approach to

data security, one that complements existing solutions and places the importance of protecting

data above all else. Cigent takes concepts used in continuous authentication and zero t rust and

applies them as close to the data stream as possible, bringing proactive protection directly to

your data. allows users to safely and easily access critically important information, even Cigent

if the system is already compromised. The result is an unprecedented level of protection,

detection, and response to cyberattacks, insider threats, and lost or stolen devices.

Purpose

This document is a guide to help you install and configure your C Series SSD and associated

Cigent software so you can start using it as quickly as possible. basic operationIt also provides a

overview and explanation for some of the security sensors if you are interested in learning

more.

Using Always On and Dynamic Drives

There are two types of file protection modes available:

Files on Always On s Drive

• Files remain locked under all conditions

• Step-up authentication is required to access the file every time

• Designed for extremely sensitive information

• Drive is locked ( unmounted ) when a threat has been detected and must be manually

unlocked afterwards

Files on Dynamic s Drive

• Files are locked only if a threat has been detected

• Provides strong protection in a minimally invasive manner—the user is prompted to

authenticate only if access to a locked file is attempted

• Designed for files that require frequent or bulk access like Source code.

• Drive is locked ( unmounted ) when a threat has been detected and automatically

unlocked ( by default. )

Locking and Unlocking Drives

You can lock and unlock Secure Drives using either the Secure Drives page of the Cigent

Dashboard or the quick menu ( right click Cigent tray icon. )

• Unlocking a drive always requires authentication but locking does not.

• By default the Dynamic drive will automatically unlock on startup and after a threat

clears. This can be changed in the settings.

Accessing Dynamic Files

1. In Windows Explorer, browse to your Dynamic Drive ( usually P : )

2. Double click on a file to open it.

factor authentication unless there is an Active threat and the system is in Active Lock.

Manage Cigent Settings

The Cigent Setting page allows you to customize different aspects of Cigent and C Series SSD

operations. This section is a quick explanation of each setting. Those preceeded with an

asterisk(*) are particularly important or useful.

Allow OneDrive to sync locked file without authentication

Allow Dropbox to sync locked files without authentication

Enable these options if you use either of these Cloud File storage solutions and have added an

Always On folder being synchronized by these applications.

* Automatically Unlock Cigent Dynamic Secure Drives

Enable to have automatically unlock(mount) your Dynamic drive ( if configured ) Cigent after

system restarts and a threat clears.

* Lock Cigent Dynamic Secure Drives When Threat Detected

Disable this option if you want the Dynamic drive to remain unlocked ( mounted ) even during a

threat state. Note however that files will still be protected by requiring a second factor

authentication similar to AlwaysOn files until the threat is cleared.

supports either of these options, click the Setup button to complete the configuration via the

Hello UI. Once complete, return to Cigent and select Default to change to this form of
