The certification conforms CyberGuard to U.S. Government standards such as the Traffic-Filter Firewall Protection Profile for Low-Risk Environments and the U.S. Department of Defense Application-level Firewall Protection Profile for Basic Robustness Environments.
“EAL4+ certification confirms CyberGuard's global leadership position in network security technology,” said Bashar Bashaireh, Regional Manager, Middle East & North Africa, CyberGuard. “The third-party, independent endorsement of CyberGuard's products validates that our appliances and the software technology incorporated in them provide the highest level of security. A growing number of customers, particularly those in the region’s government related industries, are becoming concerned about the dependability of their security solutions and this independent evaluation will help them make their strategic purchasing decisions.”
CyberGuard’s Total Stream Protection (TSP) “blended protection architecture” combines Firewalls, VPN, Content Security and Application Level Gateways that can be centrally managed with ease through CyberGuard Global Command Centre (GCC).
