Unified Capabilities Approved Products List and Common Criteria
WESTFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 6, 2015--
NetScout
Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTCT), a market leader in service assurance
solutions, today announced that the NetScout nGeniusONE® portfolio has
been certified by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) for the
Department of Defense (DoD) Unified Capabilities Approved Products List
(UC APL) and approved by the National Information Assurance Partner
(NIAP) as Common Criteria certified against the requirements of
Protection Profile for Network Devices v1.1.
The newly certified solutions include:
-
nGeniusONE® Unified Performance Management platform
-
nGenius® InfiniStream®
These certifications validate that the nGeniusONE Service Assurance
platform meets the rigorous testing and technical requirements for
interoperability and security mandated by the DoD, National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) and National Security Agency (NSA).
NetScout provides the U.S. Federal Government and associated civilian
agencies with an approved, interoperable and secure service assurance
platform for the purpose of predicting and preventing application,
network and unified communications performance issues or failures.
The Common Criteria is an internationally recognized ISO standard
(ISO/IEC15408) used by governments and other organizations to assess the
security and assurance of technology products. Common Criteria provides
assurance that the process of specification, implementation and
evaluation of a computer security product has been conducted in a
rigorous and standard manner. In the United States, federal agencies
mandate that all IT products purchased by the U.S. Government for
national security systems, which handle classified and some
non-classified information, are required to be Common Criteria
certified. Security-conscious customers such as government agencies
utilize Common Criteria certification as a determining factor when
making purchasing decisions.
“We are extremely pleased that our solutions meet the rigors of the
highest security standards and the needs of the Federal market. Our
security-conscious customers such as government agencies utilize UC APL
and Common Criteria certification as a determining factor when making
purchasing decisions, and now these certifications reinforce our ability
to deliver solutions that are mission critical to network visibility and
intelligence that is always on,” Tom Casey, assistant vice president of
product management, NetScout.
Government agencies today turn to IT solutions that help simplify and
assure their IT environments, consisting of multiple software components
that reduce costs and address performance management disciplines such as
application and network monitoring, network capacity planning, network
troubleshooting, fault detection and service level management.
NetScout’s nGenius solution enables the implementation of a unified
service delivery management strategy that provides situational awareness
and preemptive response, helps IT organizations optimize the
availability and performance of delivered services, protects the user
experience and simplifies IT operations.
The nGenius solution extends visibility to more places in the network
with a common data set of service-oriented analysis and reporting
functionality that promotes IT collaboration with team-oriented
workflows.
Certified to Assure Services for U.S. Military and Civilian Agencies
The UC APL certification creates and maintains a single consolidated
list of products that have successfully completed Interoperability (IO)
and Information Assurance (IA) certification. It assures that products
have been independently verified to be compliant with the requirements
of the Defense Information Systems Network, which is mandatory in order
to connect to the DISA network. DISA provides information technology and
communication support to the U.S. President, Vice President, Secretary
of Defense, military service and combatant commands as well as connects
