Ixia, a leading provider of network testing, visibility, and security, today announced it has achieved the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 140-2 accreditation for its industry leading Vision ONE™ and Vision™ 7300 network packet brokers (NPB) solutions.

This accreditation signifies that these Ixia (News - Alert) products meet the stringent security requirements of all U.S. government agencies, and serves as another meaningful demonstration of the company's leadership in the network visibility market.

This standard specifies the security requirements that will be satisfied by a cryptographic module utilized within a security system protecting sensitive but unclassified information.

"Ixia works diligently to ensure that our products meet the stringent security requirements of federal agencies, while meeting the dynamic needs of our customers and partners," stated Recep Ozdag, Vice President of Product Management at Ixia. "This accreditation serves as a meaningful demonstration of Ixia's ongoing commitment to the network visibility and federal markets."
