Introduction
The advanced cybersecurity defenses built into the operating firmware of C Series SSDs repel
ransomware attacks and prevent data theft even when all other cybersecurity protections fail
or are bypassed. When used in conjunction with Cigent® for Windows, C Series SSDs protect
data throughout the entire device lifecycle—from provisioning to end-of-life—defending
against a vast number of threat vectors.
Available in NVMe internal and external FIPS and non FIPS configurations, the C Series SSD is
offered in four sizes—256GB, 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB. It can be installed as the primary storage
device on a Windows PC where the O/S runs, as secondary internal storage (such as in a
desktop tower), or as external media plugged into a USB port.
DIGISTOR has partnered with Cigent to provide Cigent for Windows (Cigent), a new approach to
data security, one that complements existing solutions and places the importance of protecting
data above all else. Cigent takes concepts used in zero trust and continuous authentication and
applies them as close to the data stream as possible, bringing proactive protection directly to
your data. Cigent allows users to safely and easily access critically important information, even
if the system is already compromised. The result is an unprecedented level of protection,
detection, and response to cyberattacks, insider threats, and lost or stolen devices.
Purpose
This document is a guide to help you install and configure your C Series SSD and associated
Cigent software so you can start using it as quickly as possible. It also provides a basic operation
overview and explanation for some of the security sensors if you are interested in learning
more.

Setup and Cigent for Windows Installation
This guide is applicable to either external or internal C Series SSD installed as secondary drives.
Installing your C Series SSD as a primary ( OS ) drive will require cloning your existing installation
to the C Series SSD or installing a fresh OS. These configurations are outside the scope of this
guide, but setup and configuration are the same once installed.
A copy of the Cigent installer is placed onto each C Series SSD before shipping.
1. Plug in your External Secure SSD or install the Internal Secure SSD into your system as a
secondary drive.
2. Open Windows Explorer and select the C Series SSD partition.
3. Double click the Cigent installer executable to begin the installation process. Note: The
name of the installer may be slightly different.
Note : If Microsoft’s Visual C++ Redistributable (x64) package is not already installed,
you may be prompted to install it during the Cigent installation process. Please follow
the simple instructions to complete the install of the package before proceeding.
