Looking at the certifications obtained in Common Criteria, 2020 has been, since the methodology was created, the second in history with the highest number of certified products with 388, only surpassed by 2016 with 395 certifications (7 more).
After almost three years since its creation, the evaluation methodology LINCE, related to cybersecurity of ICT products with medium or low criticality, becomes a UNE standard.
At jtsec we are very proud of this event, since we have participated in the creation of LINCE from the beginning; both in the definition of the LINCE methodology and its adoption as a UNE standard.
Certifying a product under the Common Criteria methodology is not easy, there are several variables, mainly at the beginning of the project, which are key to the proper development of the evaluation.
One of the important decisions to be made is to verify whether the product adapts to the characteristics and requirements of an existing Protection Profile (PP) or not.
2020 will always be remembered for COVID19, a virus that has changed our daily lives and the way we have had to relate, missing the touch of human contact with co-workers, customers, family and friends.
At jtsec we wanted to turn these initials into words that would offer us motivation, personal and professional improvement in the face of a completely new and strange scenario that we have all had to face.
In the absence of a specific Protection Profile (PP) for Endpoint solutions, NIAP has recently developed two modules of the software application Protection Profile with the intention of facilitating the certification process for laboratories, consultants and developers themselves.
