EdenWall Advances to Evaluation Phase of Common Criteria EAL3+ Certification

EdenWall Technologies, a highly innovative provider of new generation firewalls, announces that its flagship product, EdenWall, has advanced to “In Evaluation” for Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level 3+ (EAL3+) certification.

The Common Criteria for IT Security Evaluation is the technical standards basis for the international Common Criteria Recognition Arrangement (CCRA). The CCRA was signed by twenty six countries, including the United States and most European and Asia-Pacific countries. Designed to help government organizations select secure commercial IT products, it is also considered highly valuable in the private sector.

Common Criteria's Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) 3+ establishes trust in information systems and networks through the use of security testing, evaluation, and validation programs. EdenWall Technologies is being evaluated through an accredited test lab that performs evaluations and testing on IT security solutions and systems.

“EAL 3+ assures customers, in and out of government, that EdenWall Technologies’s solutions have gone through a rigorous testing and analysis process and conform to IT security standards. It provides independent, standards-based verification of the security functions delivered by the EdenWall range of new generation firewalls,” said Vincent Deffontaines, co-founder and CEO of EdenWall Technologies. “Companies need a vendor they can trust. Certification gives our solutions added credibility for our customers, in both public and private sectors.”

Common Criteria certification is managed in France by the French Network and Information Security Agency (FNISA).The FNISA was created on July 7th, 2009, in a similar way to France’s main partner nations, to face the challenges posed by information system security. The FNISA maintains a list of security-enhanced products that are in the process of being evaluated by a Common Criteria Testing Laboratory: http://www.ssi.gouv.fr/site_rubrique52_p_30_Edenwall_4.html.
