Security is really a main concern for the customers, and Citrix includes a lengthy good reputation for demonstrating the safety in our solutions and products by submitting them for independent Common Criteria security certification. I’m excited to announce the most recent accessory for our listing of certifications: XenServer 7.1 CU2 continues to be awarded Common Criteria EAL2 status.
Common Criteria (CC) certification is a vital qualification for government customers in lots of countries, but non-governmental customers also frequently regard CC certification as something which constitutes a product more appealing. Whether or not the certification doesn’t affect your industry, the connected security guidance might be useful for the deployments. Certification is performed in approved facilities in a single country and it is then recognized through the governments of 30 countries around the world without further testing or certification needed.
Certified products, including Citrix’s XenApp, XenDesktop, NetScaler and XenServer, are on the public Common Criteria portal.
That Which Was Different This Time Around?
We’ve shifted the XenServer certification tactic to Canada the very first time after a period of certification within the United kingdom. Using the proceed to Canada, we selected our previous certification partner, DXC Technology because the evaluation facility. DXC also evaluated XenApp and XenDesktop in 2018.
We updated XenServer to incorporate the FIPS-validated Citrix crypto module.
We stored the EAL 2 certification level, as with previous XenServer evaluations. Also, with recent alterations in Common Criteria, EAL 2 has become the greatest level recognized with no Protection Profile underneath the new Common Criteria Recognition Arrangement.
Just like our other evaluations, with this Common Criteria evaluation we used automated testing, supplying a regular, well defined, repeatable method for look at the safety needs.?This permitted us to operate the tests much earlier, prior to the discharge of XenServer 7.1 CU2 itself, and thus lead towards the overall product quality.
