3eTI Products Awarded Level 4 Common Criteria Security Certification
3e Technologies International (3eTI®), an Ultra Electronics company and leading provider of highly secure wireless networks that enable critical systems security, infrastructure security and industrial automation, today announced that products from 3eTI’s portfolio have been awarded Common Criteria (CC) WLAN Protection Profile status at Evaluation Assurance Level 4 (EAL 4) from the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP), a joint NSA and NIST security evaluation organization. While a number of 3eTI solutions previously received CC EAL2 Certification for Basic Robustness Protection, this latest round of awards reflects 3eTI’s commitment to achieving the highest possible security standards for its customer base.
“This reinforces our company’s commitment to provide the most robust, innovative and secure wireless networking solutions available.”
.CC is an internationally recognized ISO standard (ISO/IEC15408) used by governments and other organizations to assess the security and assurance of technology products. CC can be a determining factor in purchasing decisions for security-conscious customers such as government agencies, who require that all IT products purchased by the U.S. Government for certain national security systems must be CC certified. The new 3eTI CC EAL 4 ratings are good news for government agencies. EAL 4 is the highest commercial level that can be achieved, indicating that a product has been methodically designed, tested and reviewed to its full extent. The EAL 4 certification provides a non-biased means of security verification for customers (or potential customers) who wish for an external assessment of a specific 3eTI product or service.
Thurston Brooks, Vice President, Product Marketing at 3eTI, is proud to have achieved this new level of Common Criteria certification. “Our customers require strict assurance that their information will be handled with the most secure communications solutions today,” states Brooks. “This reinforces our company’s commitment to provide the most robust, innovative and secure wireless networking solutions available.”
3eTI has outfitted a number of U.S. and foreign Navy vessels and military bases with secure wireless LAN solutions and now offers customers the additional confidence EAL 4 certification provides.
