Riverbed Technology (NASDAQ: RVBD), the application performance
company, today announced that its Cascade® Profiler 9.6, Cascade
Shark 9.6, Cascade Gateway 9.6, and Cascade Pilot 9.6, from its
Riverbed® Performance Management (RPM) product family, have
achieved an EAL3+ certification under the Common Criteria for
Information Technology Security Evaluation and Certification Scheme
(CCS). With the achievement of Common Criteria certification,
Riverbed addresses critical assessment and validation under the
Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative (FDCCI) and Cloud
First mandates and demonstrates the company's commitment to
providing the highest level of independently verified information
assurance to its customers and partners.
The Riverbed Performance Management (RPM) product family
delivers the complete performance management needed by government
agencies to quickly map IT assets and applications and reduce risks
incurred during infrastructure consolidation or cloud migration.
Riverbed Performance Management (RPM) solutions help federal
agencies and enterprises to streamline application and performance
management and assure security compliance while delivering mobile
and global IT flexibility, end-user experience monitoring and
end-to-end network visibility.
Common Criteria is an internationally recognized set of
guidelines (ISO 15408), which define a common framework for
evaluating security features and capabilities of Information
Technology security products. The standard consists of several
predetermined evaluation assurance levels, each one more stringent
than the last. The resulting certification report demonstrates
conformance to the Common Criteria standard. Information assurance
certification of products is mandated by the United States
government for federal information technology purchases for
national security systems and Common Criteria meets the information
assurance certification requirement.
To comply with the Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative
(FDCCI) and the Cloud First policy, government agencies are
consolidating their data centers, developing a cloud environment,
and centralizing at least three traditionally independent IT
services. Riverbed Performance Management (RPM) products are widely
deployed across major civilian and defense agencies and they
deliver the critical Department of Defense (DoD) assessment and
validation required for federal government application-aware
network performance management. This certification makes it easier
for federal customers to purchase and deploy Riverbed Performance
Management (RPM) solutions as it reduces the need for customers to
conduct their own certifications.
Riverbed Performance Management (RPM) enables government
agencies to significantly reduce the risk of network outages during
infrastructure consolidation or migration to cloud environments by
providing the automated analytics and predictive insight to
understand the network impact on application performance,
transactions, and end-user experience. Moreover, security concerns
are driving the adoption of application-aware network performance
technologies included in Riverbed Performance Management (RPM) such
as network behavioral analytics for real-time anomaly detection,
dependency mapping to reduce risk from change, and top-down
troubleshooting for faster diagnosis of performance problems.
Riverbed Performance Management (RPM) products combine simultaneous
packet and flow data with discovery and dependency mapping so that
government agencies cannot only be alerted to problems but also
identify their root cause. These capabilities are critical for
public and government entities to make more informed decisions,
accelerate problem identification and resolution and mitigate risk
during data center consolidation, disaster recovery or cloud
migration projects.
"Government enterprises face a unique set of challenges when it
comes to security and managing network and application performance
and delivering a quality user experience," said William Hartwell,
vice president, Federal at Riverbed. "With this latest
certification and others, including our FIPS 140-2 validation,
we're assuring federal agencies of the highest levels of security
and ensuring that they aren't forced to make tradeoffs for
performance. Riverbed Performance Management (RPM) continues to
lead the industry in helping numerous federal and civilian agencies
meet key federal mandates."
Many government agencies and associated civilian agencies are
required by the National Information Assurance Acquisition Policy,
NSTISSP No. 11, to purchase only those commercial security
products, which have met specified third-party assurances and have
been tested by an accredited national laboratory. This requirement
is to ensure delivery of an approved, interoperable and secure
platform for predicting network and application failures or
performance issues. Riverbed engaged the services of Corsec
Security, Inc. for assistance through the rigorous process of
Common Criteria certification.
"Riverbed's pursuit and achievement of an EAL 3+ Common Criteria
certification demonstrates their focus and determination to provide
their customers with a high-level of security," said Matthew
Appler, CEO of Corsec Security.
In addition to completing Common Criteria EAL 3+ certification,
the certified Cascade 9.6 Riverbed Performance Management (RPM)
products offer:
- Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2
validation
- Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs) validation --
a methodology for standardized secure installation and maintenance
of computer software and hardware
