SonicWall’s NSA Series awarded Common Criteria EAL 4+ Certification

June 2008 by Marc Jacob

SonicWALL, Inc. announced that the Network Security Appliance (NSA) series product line in combination with SonicOS v5.0.1 has earned Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level 4 certification. This certification has been augmented by receipt of with flaw remediation certification (EAL 4+) from the Canadian Communications Security Establishment, Canada’s (CSEC) Common Criteria Evaluation and Certification Scheme (CCS). EAL 4+ is one of the highest mutually recognized certifications in the networking industry and now applies to SonicWALL’s NSA E7500, E6500, E5500, 5000, 4500 and 3500.

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 predetermined evaluation assurance levels, each one more stringent than the last. Common Criteria allows vendors to have their products tested against a chosen level by an independent third-party testing laboratory. Once completed, Common Criteria certifications are mutually accepted by 25 countries through the CCRA (Common Criteria Recognition Agreement), including the United States government. Common Criteria certification of security products is a requirement for purchases made by many governments within the CCRA regime.

SonicWALL continues to devote significant engineering and development resources to drive the cost and complexity out of the infrastructure," said Larry Wagner, Senior Director of Engineering at SonicWALL. "Network security is a key priority for our customers, many of whom look to certifications like these as product differentiators when making purchasing decisions. Achieving Common Criteria certification on the NSA Series is an important milestone in our continued effort to provide the industry’s most secure network infrastructure solutions."

SonicWALL’s Network Security Appliance (NSA) Series appliances deliver file and content-based threat prevention at gigabit speed. Combining a powerful real-time and reassembly-free deep packet inspection firewall with multiple layers of protection technology and a suite of security services such as anti-virus, anti-spyware, intrusion prevention and content filtering, the NSA series appliances are designed for some of the most demanding deployment..
