Network Chemistry Contracts With EWA for Common Criteria Evaluation of its Wireless Security Solutions21 March 2006
Network Chemistry, the wireless securityexperts, announced today that it has contracted with Electronic WarfareAssociates, Ltd., (EWA) to perform Common Criteria (CC) evaluation for itsRFprotect™ system for wireless intrusion detection and prevention(WIDP). Network Chemistry is the first to undergo this rigorous evaluationprocess for an integrated WIDP system.
The Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme for IT Security(CCEVS) (ISO 15408) standard of the National Information AssurancePartnership (NIAP) evaluates IT product conformance to internationalstandards. Certification helps federal, state, and local governments selectproducts that meet their security requirements and helps manufacturers gainacceptance in the global marketplace. More than 20 countries now recognizethe Common Criteria as the official third-party evaluation criteria for ITsecurity procedures.
"Network Chemistry is recognized as the technical leader in the governmentmarket at the federal, state, and local levels, and CCEVS certificationwill accelerate our momentum," said Brian de Haaff, vice president ofproduct management and marketing of Network Chemistry. "Our award-winningsuite of RFprotect solutions already meets the stringent securityrequirements of the government market by ensuring that agencies can protectthemselves in a comprehensive manner from wireless threats. Certificationwill further assure both government and enterprise customers that ourenterprise-class solution is the industry's most robust and has been testedto the highest criteria."
Network Chemistry and EWA have signed an agreement to carry out theevaluations in EWA's accredited IT Security Evaluation & Test Facility. Theevaluation employs criteria developed by the NIAP, a U.S. governmentinitiative established by the National Institute of Standards andTechnology (NIST) and the National Security Agency (NSA). All products soldto the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) must be CCEVS certified, and manyother government agencies and organizations look for CCEVS certification toensure they are purchasing products that will meet their security needs.
