What is High Assurance Data at Rest Encryption?
Critical data is generated from and stored everywhere. When not in use, that critical data is stored physically on media drives. High Assurance encryption has been, and continues to be, the best way to safeguard classified information and meet federal cyber requirements for system deployment.
High Assurance Type 1 DAR encryption:
- Provides NSA certified protection of data classified Top Secret/SCI and Below while on a storage media
- Renders the data completely indecipherable without the encryption keys
- Allows the media to be handled as unclassified via commercial transport
When it comes to ensuring mission success, classified data must be protected with the highest assurance.
