LogLogic Achieves Common Criteria Certification
September 2009 by Marc Jacob
LogLogic announced it has received Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level 2, augmented by ALC_FLR.2 (EAL2+) certification for its LX and ST log management appliances. LogLogic’s Security Event Manager had already received Common Criteria EAL2+ certification in 2008. Therefore, LogLogic now offers a complete line-up of log and security management solutions evaluated and approved for use within all U.S. and foreign government agencies.
The Common Criteria is an international security evaluation standard utilized by companies that supply security or security-enabled solutions to undergo formal evaluations to demonstrate that their security functionality performs as specified. For many U.S. departments and agencies, information assurance or information assurance-enabled products must undergo a Common Criteria evaluation prior to its acquisition in accordance with the National Security Telecommunications and Information Systems Security Policy No. 11. Common Criteria certification also provides non-governmental businesses and organizations with confidence that the IT security solutions they have deployed have been tested and approved by a third-party organization.
LogLogic’s Common Criteria certification comes from the ARCA Common Criteria Testing Lab (CCTL) operated by SAVVIS, Inc., a global leader in IT infrastructure services for business and government applications. It is one of only nine U.S. Government-accredited labs for Common Criteria certification.
