That's right! Our stockings were stuffed at the beginning of this year, as one of the first NetScaler ADC vendor's Network Device Protection Profile (NDPP) certified to get This is the gift that keeps too. To achieve this type of certification takes huge trouble and all the NetScaler engineers are to be congratulated.
NetScaler Rocks!
How can say that we do this from the old Common Criteria / EAL process is different? Well, in my previous common criteria blog, I refer the following about Common Criteria:
Common Criteria represents the outcome of efforts, criteria for evaluation of IT security that are widely useful within the international community , There is an alignment and development of a number of source criteria: the existing European, US and Canadian criteria (ITSEC, TCSEC and CTCPEC respectively). The Common Criteria resolves the conceptual and technical differences between the source criteria. It is a contribution to the development of an international standard, and opens the way to worldwide mutual recognition of evaluation results.
. For these NDPP certification showing that NetScaler 10.5 is the first ADC Product under the category listed from "Network and network-related equipment and systems" with assurance level of PP-conformity according to the NDPP document means PP following:
This is a Protection Profile (PP) for a network device. A network device in connection with this PP is a device consisting of hardware and software that is connected to the network and an infrastructure role throughout the enterprise.
Another reference of National Information Partnership website "the security requirements for network devices Protection Profile (NDPP) defines the base security functional requirements (SFRs) and security requirements Security (SAR) for network infrastructure devices in general."
This also means networking functionality, the vendor claims independently by that third party be reviewed. NDPP procedures also require FIPS certification, so NetScaler has been tested with the latest 10.5 build, as with the current FIPS platform (another big plus to really provide the safety of awesome security solutions for their network customers) was.
More info in the PDF documents on Citrix Security Compliance, NetScaler showing 10.5 certification details. Take the following, for example:
The product claims, compliance with the 1.1 version of the protection profile "Safety Requirements for Network Devices' [NDPP]
NetScaler NDPP certification: it is the best gift of the season (or any season)
