TESS™ - Tactical Encrypted Storage Solution
As a turnkey secure data storage alternative, TESS is an integrated system that has been designed for quick set up and easy use as well as rapid deployment and mobilization. The system is comprised of a Decru Datafort™ encryption device and an EMC2 data storage system enclosed in a rugged case designed for remote deployment. Data is always stored encrypted by TESS; and its Decru CryptoShred™ features can be utilized to delete local encryption keys instantly with a push of a button. This push of the button results in instant sanitization of the entire system since encryption keys are stored in secure hardware and data is never written in cleartext format. With TESS, operators are able to lock down systems temporarily with the removal of a cryptographic “ignition key” stored on a smart card. This unique element facilitates the ability to transport, service, and deploy the system securely and avoid the exposure of mission data to physical or electronic security breaches. For example, a forward-deployed data center could be provisioned with pre-staged mission data, but all data would remain in encrypted format until authorized personnel arrive with the appropriate smart cards.	+ Larger View
