What is Common Criteria?
Cybersecurity has become a top priority for industries as well as governments around the world. Defense companies and government departments are being urged to adopt data encryption to enhance cybersecurity.
Standardized as ISO/IEC 15408, the Common Criteria (CC) is an international benchmark recognized by 26 countries that provides an infrastructure to define assurance and functional requirements. For example, manufacturers can create and claim specific product features in SSDs—like the 2.5 1TB Industrial Common Criteria SSD—and have them evaluated by certified labs to ensure they meet strict security guidelines.
What is the Purpose of Common Criteria?
IT vendors – large and small – make proclamations about the security of their products all the time. Without some evidence to back their claim, their customers would be forced to take the vendor’s word regarding the claim’s accuracy.
The CC evaluation is beneficial to customers because it brings in independent third parties to validate those vendor claims against internationally accepted standards. Whether you’re evaluating a 2.5 4TB Industrial Common Criteria drive or a 2.5 2TB Industrial Common Criteria SSD, you want confidence in the security claims being made.
Benefits of CC evaluations include:
- Standardized examination methods so that you are guaranteed unbiased and consistent results.
- Examinations against recognized industry standard metrics and criteria so you have confidence that the measures are complete and relevant.
- The credibility of the third party is the basis for trusting the results; third parties that use open processes for standards development and publication of results offer the greatest credibility.
Memory Solutions for Mission-Critical Applications
There are two essential components of a CC evaluation: the Target of Evaluation (TOE) and the Security Target (ST). The TOE is the system/product that is subject to evaluation, and the ST is a document that lists all the security objectives, threats, and prerequisites of the TOE and how it meets those criteria.
At Accelerated Memory Production, our SSDs — including the 2.5 1TB Industrial Common Criteria SSD and 2.5 500GB Industrial SSD Common Criteria — are built using advanced SATA and PCIe interfaces and data storage technologies compliant with Common Criteria and FIPS 140-2 and -3, Level 2 & 3 certification.
In addition to helping you meet your strict cost targets, our self-encrypting SSD solutions also feature pre-boot authentication. This ensures that only authorized users can access systems using smart cards or passwords before the computer boots up or acknowledges the drive.
Our memory solutions’ encryption and authorization acquisition features make them ideal for sensitive data gathering and mission-critical applications. Whether you need a 2.5 2TB SSD Common Criteria model for high-density environments or a rugged 2.5 4TB Industrial Common Criteria SSD for field operations, we offer tailored options for every scenario.
We invite you to explore our storage solutions for different applications and needs. For additional information or to discuss how Accelerated Memory Production can help you address the challenges of delivering secure, reliable, and cost-effective solutions.
