NetMotion Mobility accepted for Common Criteria Certification
Industry leading mobile VPN meets rigors of internationally agreed security standard
September 25, 2015 – NetMotion Wireless, a leading provider of mobile productivity and management software, today announced the acceptance of Mobility, the company’s industry leading mobile VPN, into the Common Criteria Evaluation and Certification Scheme (CCS) programme by the CSEC – The Swedish certification body for IT security, an independent unit of the Swedish Defense Materiel Administration. Common Criteria is an international standard and the driving force behind the widest available mutual recognition of secure IT products. The acceptance of NetMotion Mobility is a critical milestone towards achieving Common Criteria certification.
Common Criteria certification is one of the highest internationally recognised set of guidelines for evaluating security features and capabilities of products, and is accepted by 26 countries. This certification gives organisations critical assurance that a product meets the most stringent security standards, and is often cited as a requirement by government customers around the world.
“In 2015, NetMotion has grown more than 60 per cent in international markets, and continued expansion into European markets is an important part of our growth plans,” said John Ferron, CEO at NetMotion Wireless. “In markets like Europe, with rigorous security mandates, numerous wireless network carriers, and fragmented coverage, Common Criteria certification permits many more customers to take advantage of the connectivity, visibility and control available from our market-leading solution.”
Mobility has been approved to pursue Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) 4+. NetMotion Wireless expects to complete Common Criteria certification of Mobility in 2016.
