Cigent Technology, Inc.
Cigent, leaders in data recovery and removal, have built a storage device (for laptops, desktops, external media) with built-in data security. The drive by default makes data “invisible” – unreadable at the sector level, requiring MFA and Cigent software to access the storage. Advanced key creation and storage methodology have been implemented making it virtually impossible(?) to access the key. Additionally there is a dedicated microprocessor that monitors for attempts to wipe or clone the drive, boot off of an alternate OS, or ransom the drive – the drive automatically protects the data if it is attacked. It also has full drive erasure with unique firmware verification that confirms every block was truly wiped. Oh and wait – there’s more…!

Start9 Labs, Inc
Privacy and free speech are fundamental human rights and essential ingredients for a free society. Human history demonstrates that, when entrusted to others, these rights are invariably denied, resulting in great suffering. As such, it is necessary for individuals to protect their own privacy and right to speak freely. Fortunately, modern technologies, in the form of personal computers, encryption, and open, decentralized network protocols such as the Internet and Bitcoin, make this a real possibility. What is needed is a revolution in personal computing away from the current, hosted, custodial model that breeds dependency and corruption, towards a decentralized model, where individuals have absolute control over their data and communications. Start9 is empowering the community behind this movement with open source tools and education.
