NETSCOUT NGENIUS 3900 SERIES PACKET FLOW SWITCHES ACHIEVES
COMMON CRITERIA CERTIFICATION
NETSCOUT
SYSTEMS, INC. (NASDAQ: NTCT), a market leader in service assurance
and cybersecurity solutions, today announced that the NETSCOUT nGenius
3900 Series Packet Flow Switches (PFS) has been approved by the National
Information Assurance Partner (NIAP) as Common Criteria certified
against the requirements of Protection Profile for Network Devices v1.1
and is in process of being certified by the Defense Information Systems
Agency (DISA) for the Department of Defense (DoD) Unified Capabilities
Approved Products List (UC APL). Last year, these products were
certified: nGeniusONE™ Service Assurance platform and InfiniStream™
appliance.
The Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation is an
internationally approved set of security standards that provide a clear
evaluation of the security capabilities of IT products. Government and
associated agencies can deploy the nGenius 3900 Series PFS with
confidence, knowing the 3900 series PFS 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).
Today, 26 countries recognize the Common Criteria 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.
“Our most security-conscious customers, especially federal and
government agencies, recognize the importance of Common Criteria
certification,” said Sarah Banks, nGenius 3900 series director of
product management, at NETSCOUT. “Certification of the nGenius 3900
Series PFS validates the rigor and focus we have on ensuring IT security
is built into our portfolio.”
The nGenius 3900 Series PFS streamlines, extends, and scales packet flow
access across the enterprise to enhance the scope and efficacy of
network monitoring, performance management, and security strategies. A
highly scalable solution that supports the breadth of 1, 10, 40 and 100G
interfaces with high-performance switching, it enables IT organizations
to extend efficiency of 1/10G tools on 10/40 G links. The 3900 series
PFS are optimized to work with NETSCOUT’s InfiniStream® appliances and
nGeniusONE™ Service Assurance platform for critical alarm monitoring,
real-time metrics of switched traffic, and streamlined switch management.
In Progress to Certify for the UC APL 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 to all
branches of the military in addition to related services, agencies and
coalition partners.
