Common Criteria Evaluation Underway for AirMagnet Enterprise 8.0
SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 12, 2008 — AirMagnet Inc., the leader in security, performance and compliance solutions for wireless LANs, today announced that AirMagnet Enterprise 8.0 is in the process of Common Criteria evaluation at Evaluation Assurance Level 2 and has been officially placed on the "Products Under Evaluation" list at http://sertit.no/product/11/. This current evaluation further demonstrates AirMagnet's commitment and leadership in the field of independent security certification, and offers government customers worldwide the added assurances many need before implementing a WLAN security and performance management solution.
Common Criteria is an internationally recognized security evaluation standard that is based on a framework that allows computer system users to specify security requirements. Vendors can then implement and/or make claims about the security attributes of their products, and testing laboratories can evaluate the products to determine if they actually meet the stated claims.
