Common Criteria EAL+ certification for SDoT Security Gateway Cross Domain Solution
PR93097
COLOGNE, Germany, Nov. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
The SDoT Security Gateway [
https://www.infodas.de/en/products/sdot_cross_domain_solutions/security-gateway-ieg-guard/
] received an ISO/IEC 15408 Common Criteria (CC) certification evaluation
assurance level (EAL) 4+ [
https://www.commoncriteriaportal.org/files/epfiles/1129c_pdf.pdf ]from the
German Federal Office of Information Security (BSI). INFODAS and its product
met one of the most demanding evaluation in the global Cybersecurity industry.
Once again SDoT cross domain solutions and their development excel in quality,
reliability, integrity and security. The bi-directional High Assurance Guard
allows to filter structured and unstructured data and already holds general
German, NATO and EU SECRET approvals.
In the past, sensitive systems and data in the military, government agencies or
critical infrastructure were isolated. Even today many classified information
protection regulations do not reflect the technological advances in cross
domain solutions. These practices and regulations prevent end-to-end
digitization of mission critical IT environments, dealing with the IT expert
shortage and requirements for rapid decision making among government agencies,
military units or multi-national partners. Today, only trusted solutions with
an CC EAL4+ certification or national security agency approvals can change this
reality. They combine a protocol break with in-depth inspection, transformation
and monitoring of data transfers, ensuring only correct and authorized
information crosses systems at different security levels.
The German BSI ISO/IEC 15408 common criteria standard schema [
https://www.commoncriteriaportal.org/ccra/index.cfm ] is the global benchmark
in Cybersecurity. A growing number of domestic and international end-users
expect IT vendors to produce trusted and reliable evidence for the
Cybersecurity capabilities of their products. The CC evaluation process applies
objective and verifiable criteria on specified evidence. The depth of
evaluation is marked by the evaluation assurance level (EAL) from 1-7. Contrary
to the popular collaborative protection profiles [
] (cPPs) which are mostly based on CC EAL 1/2, the SDoT Security Gateway had
to meet CC EAL4+ [ https://www.commoncriteriaportal.org/products/#BP ]. This
included extensive penetration tests, vulnerability analysis and source code
analysis by independent CC auditors.
The certification process started in 2019 and was conducted by atsec
information security GmbH, a German based BSI certified CC auditor, under
supervision of the BSI [
]. Beyond the product, INFODAS GmbH had to provide evidence about its research
& development practices, product documentation, product support or relevant
company processes. The audit benefited from activities related to the German,
NATO and EU SECRET approvals. Unlike a common criteria certification that can
be initiated by any IT vendor [
], national security authority approvals require a public sector sponsor.
"The SDoT Security Gateway's CC EAL4+ certification meets customer demands in
various sectors and underlines our leading position in the global cross domain
solution market. This shows the strength of our team and that true "zero trust
security" products can come from Germany", said Dr. Alexander Konen, Director
Solutions. According to Hanns Benigno Groeschke, INFODAS' CC expert: "BSI
accredited CC auditors are highly regarded around the world: They
independently, diligently, relentlessly and systematically apply CC standards.
In parallel, the Federal Office of Information Security continuously reviews
audit results to ensure the highest quality of their CC certifications".
All elements of the Secure Domain Transition (SDoT) Product Family [
https://www.infodas.de/en/products/sdot_cross_domain_solutions/security-gateway-ieg-guard/
] meet the highest requirements for hardware and software security at the
SECRET and below interoperability level (SABI). They are developed and
manufactured in Germany with full supply chain transparency. They are available
as 19", 1U appliances or smaller deployable sizes for vehicles. Other products
include the SDoT Security Gateway Express [
https://www.infodas.de/en/products/sdot_cross_domain_solutions/security-gateway-ieg-guard/
] optimized for near real-time, low latency filtering of structured data such
as XML or JSON. Just like the SDoT Diode [
https://www.infodas.de/en/products/sdot_cross_domain_solutions/data_diode/ ]
for unidirectional data transfer up to 9.1 Gbit/s, both products hold a general
NATO, EU and German SECRET approvals [
]. They are complemented by the SDoT Labelling Service [
] for NATO STANAG 4774/8 compliant data classification with XML security labels
that are cryptographically bound to any data object such as MS Office documents.
