[July 19, 2012] Crossbeam Systems Receives Common Criteria EAL4+ Certification for Its X-Series Security Platform Tweet Jul 19, 2012 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Crossbeam Systems, Inc., the provider of next-generation security platforms for high-performance networks, announced today that its X-Series Operating System (XOS 9.9) and X-Series X60 and X80-S security platforms have earned Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation certification at Evaluation Assurance Level 4 (EAL4+). Common Criteria is an internationally recognised set of guidelines (ISO/IEC 15408) that provides a framework for evaluating security features and capabilities of IT security products. EAL4+ is the highest assurance level for conventional products, providing maximum confidence that security features are reliably implemented. Common Criteria is recognised globally by all signatories under the Common Criteria Recognition Agreement (CCRA). In order to facilitate the rigorous Common Criteria certification process, Crossbeam partnered with Corsec Security, Inc., an independent consulting firm with more than fourteen years of security validation experience. Common Criteria evaluation is critical for global enterprises and is frequently mandated for commercial information security products purchased by governments worldwide for use in its national security systems.
