Advantech's SATA/PCIe SSDs offer superior performance, enhanced durability, and higher capacities for applications handling sensitive data or requiring a high level of security.
Currently, US and Canadian agencies require storage devices that meet security certifications to prevent data theft. To this end, FIPS 140-2 certification requirements for storage products used in the government/public sector will be mandatory within three years. FIPS-certified SED (self-encryption drive) storage products meet the US federal government's secure storage requirements and employ specified encryption algorithms, ensuring that the SSD's internal data handling procedures conform to NIST standards. Certified solutions provide secure data storage for a variety of security-sensitive applications in infrastructure, healthcare, and defense.
To meet the needs of various applications, the SQF 840F/920F series SSDs provide TCG-OPAL compliant AES-256 encryption engines for advanced self-encryption. This encryption enables read and write protection controls, as well as best-in-class mechanisms for multi-user authentication on the drive and multi-secure zone authentication. These features can be managed with the DeviceOn/SQ Manager security suite, available for Linux or integrated into the BIOS. Furthermore, the firmware is digitally signed to further prevent unauthorized changes to the SSD's root directory. These devices achieve enhanced stability through automatic power-up testing of all encryption-related hardware engines. The product also includes physical tamper protection to prevent data theft through external intrusion. In summary, the NIST-certified SQF 840F/920F series meets FIPS 140-2 Level 2 specifications, providing a comprehensive and effective safety mechanism.
See the following list of SQF FIPS-compliant safe products for more information.
