Multiple Certifications Satisfy Critical Requirement for Defense and Civilian Government Procurements

(11.08.09) - Juniper Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: JNPR), specialist in high-performance networking, announced routing, switching and security solutions that have achieved Common Criteria (ISO 15408) certification for information assurance and security at Evaluation Assurance Level 3 (EAL-3).

Common Criteria certifications are considered a prerequisite in many government procurements in the U.S. and abroad, and reflect extensive evaluations of the security features and capabilities of information technology and networking products in clearly specified, real-world operating environments.

The Juniper routers and switches attaining Common Criteria EAL-3 certification from the UK Certification Body include the "M Series Multiservice Edge Routers" (M7i, M10i, M40e, M120, and M320); the T Series Core Routers (T320, T640, T1600); the "MX Series Ethernet Services Routers" (MX240, MX480, and MX960); and the "EX Series Ethernet Switches" (EX3200 and EX4200). "Juniper Networks J Series Services Routers" (J2320, J2350, J4350, and J6350) were certified at EAL-3 in Australia, as were the recently announced Juniper Networks SRX5600 and SRX5800 Series Services Gateways.

All of these solutions were certified running "Junos" Software 9.3. Junox Software is a single source network operating system integrating routing, switching and security services. (Juniper: ra)
