 # Azure Data Box Next Generation security and data protection
@@ -48,8 +48,8 @@ The Data Box device is protected by the following features:
 - A rugged device casing that withstands shocks, adverse transportation, and environmental conditions. 
 - Hardware and software tampering detection that prevents further device operations.
 - Built-in intrusion detection system that detects any unauthorized physical access to the devices.
-- Hardware Root of Trust (RoT) to ensure BMC firmware integrity and secure updates.
-- Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 that uses the TPM device to protect secrets and support platform [attestation](/windows/security/hardware-security/tpm/tpm-fundamentals#measured-boot-with-support-for-attestation).
+- Semper Secure Flash technology integrated with a hardware Root of Trust (RoT) within the flash memory chip, ensuring firmware integrity and secure updates without hardware modifications.
+- A Trusted Platform Module (TPM) that performs hardware-based, security-related functions. Specifically, the TPM manages and protects secrets and data that needs to be persisted on the device.
 - Runs only Data Box-specific software.
 - Boots up in a locked state.
 - Controls device access via a device unlock passkey. This passkey is protected by an encryption key. You can use your own customer-managed key to protect the passkey.

 The data that flows in and out of Data Box is protected by the following features:
 
 - AES 256-bit encryption for Data-at-rest. In a high-security environment, you can use software-based double encryption. For more information, see [Tutorial: Order Azure Data Box](data-box-deploy-ordered.md).
+- The software based encryption is enhanced by RAID controller based hardware encryption. 
 - Encrypted protocols can be used for data-in-flight. We recommend that you use SMB 3.0 with encryption to protect data when you copy to it from your data servers.
 - Secure erasure of data from the device once upload to Azure is complete. Data erasure is in accordance with guidelines in [Appendix A for ATA Hard Disk Drives in NIST 800-88r1 standards](https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/SpecialPublications/NIST.SP.800-88r1.pdf). The data erasure event is recorded in the [order history](data-box-logs.md#download-order-history).
