CSI
SafeWorX™
Multi-Layer
Physical Data Protection
In
today’s economic business environment, your proprietary
and confidential digital data provides the baseline for
your survival. This information can span from simple
business contact information, internal email, reports,
research to proprietary batch recipes. This data has to
be protected from your competitors and other outside
parties at every level.
SafeWorX™
features
include:
-
Data encryption at the hardware level meeting all
NIST standards
-
Data encryption at the software level meeting all
NIST standards
-
Additional asset protection based on GIS and
physical location
-
Hard drive lock upon power down requiring encrypted
password for unlock
-
Automatic data destruction upon intrusive attack
-
Multiple hard drive destruction levels based upon
pre-defined user settings (security, panic alarm,
theft, hardware intrusion, etc.)
-
Complete electronic destruction upon request
-
Destroyed data cannot be recovered by a forensics
lab
-
Provides additional encrypted data storage for
existing infrastructures
-
Minimized IT interaction to maintain system
passwords and SOX compliance
-
Embedded Operating System encrypted within an
Operating System which cannot be detected
-
Retention of care,
custody and control to include certification and
defendable audit trail
What is
SafeWorX™?
SafeWorX
is an
integrated system (appliance) providing multiple
levels of hardware and software protection layers to
eliminate the loss or misappropriation of data. The
SafeWorX
system appears to be a normal
computer server or storage device in both looks and
common functionality.
The appliance
can be built into existing cases for mass storage
arrays, servers, NAS or SAN devices. CSI modifies
the OEM units to provide the
SafeWorX
functionality without altering
the external appearance of the original unit. This
provides the integrated look required to not draw
unnecessary attention from unscrupulous competitors,
hackers, and disgruntled employees.
The
SafeWorX
appliance
houses the hard drives your proprietary data resides
on. Any combination of drives and RAID
configurations are available for use. The hard
drives provided with
SafeWorX
can be SATA, IDE, SCSI or SAS at the user’s
preference.
All hard drives will
be of the self-encrypting type to automatically
secure and erase data in milliseconds. With the
encryption residing at the hardware level, this
provides protection for important data in the event
of theft or loss.
In the event the
equipment is removed or powered down to try to gain
access, the hard drives are configured to
automatically enter the lock state upon powering up.
The lock state requires an encrypted password prior
to unlocking the drive for normal operation.
Additionally, the hard drives
provide instant secure erase
(cryptographic erase for making the data
non-readable). Cryptographic erase simply replaces
the encryption key inside the encrypted drive,
making it impossible to ever decrypt the data (which
was encrypted with the deleted key).
Using either of these methods produces
unrecoverable
data by any forensics lab.
Additional hardware is
included that will allow the drives to be degaussed
(basically
e-nuked) upon
triggering, even if the unit is powered down. This
provides for additional physical levels of loss
prevention and security. As this is the last line of
defense, it is very detrimental to the equipment for a
reason. In other words, this unit will electronically
self-destruct upon triggering.
The equipment can be
replaced, your data cannot!
The self-destruct
triggering is based on definable actions and/or events
such as:
-
Removal of the unit
from a defined location
-
Incorrect password
attempts
-
Illegal boot
procedures to bypass encryption
-
Unauthorized
intrusion of the
SafeWorX
chassis/case
-
Remote activation by
authorized personnel
-
Hard-wired panic
button
-
Integrated into
building security system
-
Events (based on
stored procedures)
-
Numerous trigger
options outside of those listed here
The hardware
described above protects your data when the system is
powered down, rebooted, or triggered. While running,
SafeWorX
provides additional layers of software security
to control user interaction.
Our mission:
Eliminate your
proprietary & confidential data loss to outside parties
while providing secure data retention for your
organization.
