Press Releases

ANDOVER, Mass., Nov. 14, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mercury Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:MRCY) (www.mrcy.com) announced today that its ASURRE-Stor® Self-Encrypting Solid-State Drive (SSD) for Classified Programs was recognized with a top level award by the judges of the annual Military & Aerospace Electronics Innovators Awards program. The judging panel consisted of a panel of senior third-party expert professionals.

Mercury Systems was honored with a Platinum award. The ASURRE-Stor SSD device honored with this award features a custom-designed cryptographic engine tailored to the stringent requirements specified in the Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) program. Developed by National Security Agency (NSA) and the Central Security Service (CSS), the CSfC program layers rapidly deployed, highly agile commercial technologies for affordable data at rest protection up to the Top Secret designation.

Manufactured in the Company’s Defense Microelectronics Association (DMEA)-accredited Advanced Microelectronics Center (AMC) in Phoenix, Ariz., the ASURRE-Stor SSD is the first and only hardware full disk encryption (HWFDE) solution to receive third-party validation of compliance to the standards outlined in the CSfC program. Unlike competing commercial technologies neither tested nor validated to these standards, ASURRE-Stor SSD device seamlessly combines data at rest protection with a full suite of performance-enhancing algorithms. As a result, predictable and sustained read/write operations are assured in the harshest of military environments.

“Having introduced the first commercial SSD independently validated for secure defense programs, we are honored to receive Platinum recognition from Military & Aerospace Electronics,” said Charlie Leader, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Mercury’s Advanced Microelectronics Systems group. “Mercury has embedded innovation deeply into the foundation of our research, development, and commercialization processes to deliver affordable yet highly differentiated microelectronic solutions. The US government and our nation’s warfighters can rely on Mercury to continue delivering innovations that matter to our national security interests.”
