Certification for Network Access
Pulse Secure, the leader in secure access solutions for people, devices, things and services, today announced a cyber security industry first by achieving Common Criteria certification for both its network access control (NAC) and virtual private network (VPN) solutions under NIAP’s most current collaborative protection profile for network devices. The integrated approach increases cyber security assurance for pre-connect and post-connect endpoint visibility, compliance and threat mitigation for government agencies, as well as private-sector enterprises.
Common Criteria certification is governed by ISO/IEC standards bodies and maintained by the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) according to internationally recognized security testing standards. Pulse Policy Secure v5.3 (NAC) and Pulse Connect Secure v8.2 (VPN) were awarded certification against a NIAP-approved protection profile encompassing security requirements, an evaluation and validation scheme, and rigorous test activities carried out by UL Verification Services Inc.
Pulse Secure has been extensively deployed in Federal, military and supporting contractor applications to support: 802.1X port-control and DISA STIGs, NIST’s Risk Management Framework (RMF), Comply to Connect standards, Command Cyber Readiness Inspections (CCRI), Host-based Security System (HBSS) and DFAR 252.204-7012 assurance, and Internet of Things (IoT) security initiatives. In addition, the solutions have also attained FIPS 140-2 Level 1 certification, and are certified on the U.S. DoD Unified Capabilities (UC) Approved Products List (APL) and for JTIC joint warfighting IT interoperability.
“Government IT organizations are always on the defense, but like commercial entities, they must accommodate increased requirements for availability, responsiveness and compliance. This is especially true for users and devices requesting access to and operating on federal and military networks,” said Mike Riemer, chief security architect at Pulse Secure. “Pulse Secure is uniquely positioned to give Federal CIOs the means to advance network access, situational intelligence, and endpoint protection in a timely and cost-effective way that supports compliance mandates. Our recent Common Criteria certifications serves to further validate the design and effectiveness of our Secure Access platform.”
