Emerson Network Power First to Earn EAL2+ Common Criteria Certification for Secure KVM Switch Series

Emerson Network Power First to Earn EAL2+ Common Criteria Certification for Secure KVM Switch Series











Huntsville, AL (PRWEB) August 10, 2011

Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson and a global leader in maximizing availability, capacity and efficiency of critical infrastructure, today announced the Avocent SwitchView® SC600 and SC700 are the industry’s first secure KVM switches to receive EAL2+ Common Criteria certification. The certification extends a history of KVM leadership that began with the introduction of the secure KVM in 2000 and includes the first secure USB KVM switch and the first secure dual-head DVI switch.

Delivering secure access for any desktop environment with controlled USB connectivity, the next-generation secure switch series offers improved work efficiency while saving desktop space by eliminating redundant hardware and cables. Enhanced with the new profile certification that was introduced by the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) in 2010, the switches enable the user to consolidate multiple workstations of varying security classification levels with one keyboard, monitor and mouse without compromising the network security.

“Being the first to market with EAL2+ certification marks another significant milestone and underscores our commitment to provide secure access for any desktop environment where security is mandatory while keeping pace with stringent government standards,” said Michael Helms, director of product management for Emerson Network Power’s Avocent business.

Both the Avocent SwitchView SC600 and SC700 switches feature multiple layers of security, including tamper-proof hardware security at the desktop. In addition, the secure switch ensures that only keyboard and mouse function on target computers by constantly monitoring all devices attached to the console ports. These switches ignore communication from all other USB devices (such as flash drives, hard disk drives, cameras and printers) when switching data to the target.

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 stringent predetermined evaluation assurance levels. To ensure consistency, vendor products are tested against a chosen level by an independent third-party testing laboratory.

The NIAP Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme for IT Security (CCEVS), was established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the National Security Agency (NSA) to evaluate IT product conformance to international standards within the framework of the Common Criteria.

Secure Elements Advances to Evaluation Phase of Common Criteria Certification Process










Herndon, VA (PRWEB) April 22, 2005

Secure Elements, Inc., a leader in enterprise vulnerability management and remediation, today announced that the company’s CLASS 5 Enterprise Vulnerability Management (C5 EVM) suite has advanced to the evaluation phase of Common Criteria certification, a security evaluation required by government procurement departments worldwide.

Common Criteria certification is an international standards program managed in the U.S. by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the National Security Agency (NSA) and is designed to help government organizations select secure commercial IT products. It is also considered valuable by potential customers in the private sector.

Secure Elements is working toward Common Criteria’s Evaluation Assurance Level 3 (EAL 3). This level of certification assures customers, in and out of government, that Secure Elements’ systems have gone through a rigorous testing and analysis process and conform to IT security standards sanctioned by the International Standards Organization.

In progressing to the evaluation phase of the program, Secure Elements has completed two of only three steps required in the process and hopes to be certified by the end of the year.

“Common Criteria certification is important because it provides independent, standards-based verification of the security functions delivered by the C5 EVM suite,” said Ned Miller, president and CEO of Secure Elements. “Not only will this give our customers the highest level of confidence that our solutions deliver on their security promises, it also means that our solutions meet global security standards.”

Building on our quality management system, atsec also takes a strong process view when it comes to ensuring the security of its information assets. Recent events have demonstrated that no information asset should be more important to a global information-security company than its stored customer data. atsec is currently pursuing BS 7799-2:2002 certification as evidence of its commitment to holistic information security and will continue to demonstrate its support for emerging security standards.”
