CA Layer 7 API Gateway Becomes First Product to
be Certified for the Protection Profile for Enterprise Service
Management
CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA) today announced 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). The CSC lab is one of only eight U.S.-based
CCTLs approved by NIAP and meets the Common Criteria Evaluation and
Validation Scheme. The evaluation examined product functionality,
design, development environment and documentation and culminated in
functional and penetration testing.
"The evaluation game has changed since the EAL4 effort
(evaluation assurance level); Protection Profiles are now the
centerpiece of Common Criteria certification and NIAP has shifted
focus to extensive functional testing. The CA Layer 7 team worked
hard together with our Security Testing and Certification Lab to
demonstrate compliance. 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.
CA Technologies acquired Layer 7 Technologies, a leading
provider of API management and security, in June 2013. For

About Common Criteria
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and
the National Security Agency (NSA) established the National
Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) to evaluate IT product
conformance to the Common Criteria for Information Technology
Security Evaluation, an international standard. The program,
officially known as the NIAP Common Criteria Evaluation and
Validation Scheme (CCEVS) is a partnership between the public and
private sectors to help organizations select commercial
off-the-shelf information technology (IT) products that meet their
security requirements and to help manufacturers of those products
gain acceptance in the global marketplace. Twenty-six countries now
recognize the Common Criteria as third-party evaluation criteria
for IT security procedures.
