NIST 800-88 Compliance

NIST 800-88 compliance involves following the guidelines established in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 800-88, titled “Guidelines for Media Sanitization.” These guidelines offer comprehensive recommendations for securely erasing data from various types of media to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information. They outline methods for data sanitization—such as clearing, purging, and destroying data—to ensure no one can reconstruct or retrieve it. Compliance with NIST 800-88 is essential for organizations handling sensitive data, as it helps reduce the risk of data breaches and ensures that data disposal practices adhere to stringent security standards. The Ciphertex SecureNAS^® Instant Secure Erase (ISE) feature works specifically with the drives provided by Ciphertex^® and complies with NIST 800-88, delivering a fast and secure cryptographic data erasure solution.

SecureNAS® Prevents FOD Damage to Military Aircraft

Ciphertex Data Security^® adheres rigorously to FOD protocols and manufacturing design specifications. Foreign Object Debris (FOD) encompasses any extraneous item or damage near electronic products, posing a risk to sensitive electronic components and proving harmful to the production environment. In manufacturing, especially in aerospace and defense industries, strict requirements for product integrity are crucial to ensuring the safety and reliability of the development processes. Neglecting to promptly identify and address FOD can result in substantial financial losses for a company, potentially causing aircraft malfunctions and leading to millions of dollars in damages.
