Corsec would like to congratulate our partner Ixia on completing the Common Criteria evaluation process for their NTO 7303 and Vision ONE solutions. Ixia, a leading provider of testing, visibility, and security solutions that strengthen applications across physical and virtual networks, has completed this arduous process under the Network Device Protection Profile (NDcPP) within the Canadian scheme. This accomplishment signifies a continued effort by Ixia to strengthen product security, having previously completed the validation process for NIST’s Federal Information Processing Standard 140-2 (FIPS 140-2) and the Department of Defense Information Network Approved Products List (DoDIN APL). Ixia continues to reinforce their position as a trusted supplier within Federal and Regulated Industries requiring high levels of product security and information assurance.

About Common Criteria
Common Criteria is an internationally recognized set of guidelines (ISO 15408), which define a common framework for evaluating security features and capabilities of Information Technology security products. The standard consists of several predetermined evaluation assurance levels, each one more stringent than the last. Common Criteria allows vendors to have their products tested against a chosen level by an independent third-party testing laboratory. The Common Criteria Mutual Recognition Agreement (CCRA) is a pact, which was designed to allow all evaluations up to an evaluation assurance level (EAL) 2, to be recognized by all participating countries, regardless of where the evaluation was completed. There are currently 27 countries involved in the CCRA, including the United States and Canada, with others that follow unofficially such as the EU. The U.S. government mandates Common Criteria certification of security products for federal purchases. The National Information Assurance Acquisition Policy, NSTISSP No. 11, requires agencies to purchase only those commercial security products that have met specified third-party assurance requirements and have been tested by an accredited national laboratory.
