Company Furthers Commitment to Global Government Standards and Security
PALO ALTO, Calif., Feb. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TIBCO Software
Inc. (Nasdaq: TIBX), today announced that TIBCO Enterprise Message
Service(TM) has achieved Evaluation Assurance Level 2 (EAL2) Common
Criteria (CC) certification. The certification was awarded at the RSA
Conference in San Francisco on Tuesday, February 6th, and acknowledges that
Enterprise Message Service(TM) adheres to the International Standards
Organization (ISO) 15408 standard recognized by 24 nations, and required
for selling into the U.S. government sector.
The CC certification program was founded under the National Information
Assurance Partnership (NIAP), which is a joint venture between the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the National Security
Agency (NSA). Under the CC certification, products are evaluated according
to strict standards for features such as security functionality and the
handling of security vulnerabilities. Enterprise Message Service is a
standards-based messaging software that makes up part of the backbone of a
service-oriented architecture (SOA) by providing Java Message Service (JMS)
compliant communications across a wide range of application technologies.
This is the first step in a series of product certifications planned by
TIBCO under the Common Criteria. For example, TIBCO BusinessWorksTM will
also be submitted for certification at the EAL2 Augmented level (EAL2+)
later this year.
"Security plays a prominent factor in IT decisions for the government
sector. The certification for Enterprise Message Service is another step in
our ongoing commitment to address critical global security standards," said
Don Adams, vice president, chief security officer, TIBCO. "We look forward
to working with NIAP in certifying additional TIBCO products so as to
continue helping government agencies achieve the promise of SOA in the most
secure environment possible."
TIBCO engaged Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) as
its Common Criteria Testing Laboratory, based on the organization's depth
and breadth of security certification expertise and experience with the CC
standard. SAIC's Common Criteria consulting, evaluation testing and
Security Target authoring services will help TIBCO expedite the initiation,
evaluation and certification of TIBCO products under the Common Criteria.
