In April 2002, CyberGuard extended its third party evaluation to new revisions and upgrades, earning Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level 4+ (EAL4+) for the firewall technology that is the base of its appliance line. CyberGuard is currently the only firewall provider in the world participating in an ongoing Common Criteria evaluation assurance maintenance program. This is significant because ongoing evaluation assures that, when firewall manufacturers issue new upgrades and revisions to certified technology, the product maintains its originally certified level. Without that, when new versions of a security product are released, they do not retain the original assurance levels.
