Protects Secret/Highly Classified Data
The Secure Systems High Grade Silicon Data Vault (HGSDV®) is approved to store SECRET data at rest in a Notebook/Laptop computer whilst enabling the Notebook/Laptop to be handled as RESTRICTED.
|
The HGSDV® has completed an extensive and rigorous high assurance evaluation. The benefits from using the HGSDV® include user convenience gained from less onerous classified data handling procedures and cost savings as a result of handling SECRET data as RESTRICTED. 
|
|
| Rich functionality like multiple users/roles, differentiated access rights and the ability to replace AES with an alternative (classified) symmetric cryptographic primitive allows flexible configuration. | |
HGSDV® protects your highly classified data
The HGSDV® utilizes NSA Suite B cryptographic algorithms, a distributed key management system and pre-boot 2-factor authentication to provide very strong data protection.
The HGSDV® features an internal security audit log and tamper evident chassis to allow forensic analysis of inappropriate and/or unauthorized access.
Value Proposition
Agencies using the HGSDV can effect swift and secure transfer of large volumes of classified data without incurring delays that attend other expensive DSD-approved methods of moving data between remote or dispersed locations.
