HERNDON, Va. -- SecureWave, a worldwide leader in endpoint security, today announced that its award-winning Sanctuary[R] technology has received Common Criteria (CC) certification at Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) 2.

Since 2000, SecureWave's Sanctuary has met the needs of enterprise customers with complex security challenges. Through the achievement of EAL 2, Sanctuary can now benefit the Department of Defense, government lettered agencies and other security conscious commercial enterprises which are only permitted to purchase security products that receive the maximum assurance from Common Criteria guidelines. Following its successful evaluation, Sanctuary has been added to the internationally recognized Centralized Certified Product List. The EAL 2 registration number for Sanctuary is CCEVS-0084-06.

"SecureWave is pleased to achieve Common Criteria EAL 2 Certification for Sanctuary," said Thad Mann, director of alliance product management at SecureWave.

Sanctuary provides policy-based application and device control that proactively secures organizations from data threats, including data leakage, malware and spyware. By employing a whitelist approach, Sanctuary enables only authorized applications to run and only authorized devices to connect to a network, laptop or PC. Granular policy rules enable SecureWave customers to enforce flexible device and application use policies rather than simply prohibiting their use altogether. With Sanctuary, administrators can track all devices and applications that are connected or executed on the corporate network, creating an audit trail that can be used to assure compliance with corporate and governmental privacy regulations.
