In order for government and enterprise organizations to keep their data secure from increasingly advanced cyber threats, security solutions and protocols are critical. However, these organizations must ensure that their chosen security solutions meet key security criteria, are standards based, perform as expected and interoperate reliably with existing technology.
The challenges above are why Common Criteria was created. Common Criteria is an international standard for IT product security and reliability. In fact, many governments will not use security products that don’t meet Common Criteria standards.
This year, the International Common Criteria Conference is being held in Orlando, Florida from September 10-12. The conference is a place for Certification Bodies, Evaluation Laboratories, Researchers, Evaluators, Product Makers and Buyers and Sellers to come together and exchange ideas in order to improve Common Criteria.
Cisco will lead multiple sessions covering topics like Cryptography, Network Device Protection Profiles, Improving Common Criteria and Marketing Common Criteria.
