CA Layer 7 API Gateway becomes first product to be certified for the protection profile for enterprise service management
CA Technologies has unveiled its CA Layer 7 API Gateway (formerly Layer7 SecureSpan SOA Gateway) has met the rigorous requirements of Common Criteria (CC), an independent security certification recognized by governments in more than 26 countries, including the United States.
“As part of our continuing effort to deliver the highest level of security in our products, we are committed to maintaining Common Criteria certification for our API Gateway solution in both hardware and virtual appliance form factors,” said Phil Walston, vice president, Product Management, CA Technologies. “This achievement shows that CA’s API management and security gateway has been certified for use in the most critical and sensitive government applications.”
This evaluation certifies the CA Layer 7 API Gateway for policy management and access control Protection Profiles. It is the first API Gateway certified for the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) Common Criteria Protection Profile for Enterprise Service Management (PP_ESM).
The CA Layer 7 API Gateway provides a SOA, XML, API and information sharing solution that is now certified to meet the top defense and intelligence community requirements for security, management and control capabilities in on-premises and cloud-based Web service deployments.
Certification was granted by NIAP based on the results of an evaluation performed by CSC’s U.S.-based Common Criteria Testing Laboratory (CCTL).
“Having the SecureSpan SOA Gateway, now called CA Layer 7 API Gateway, be the first product certified against NIAP’s ESM profiles is truly a great achievement for both CA and CSC,” said Lachlan Turner, technical director, Security Testing and Certification Laboratories, CSC.
