INTEGRITY Global Security Announces the First Operating System Certified to “EAL6+ High Robustness”

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. and WASHINGTON, D.C. – November 18, 2008 – INTEGRITY Global Security, a wholly owned subsidiary of Green Hills Software Inc. and the leading expert in providing the certified High Robustness IT security solutions for government and commercial enterprises, today announced that the INTEGRITY®-178B operating system has been certified by the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP), a U.S. government initiative operated by the National Security Agency (NSA), to Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) 6+, High Robustness.

“This certification is the first time NIAP has certified that an operating system is capable of defeating intentional, hostile attacks—the types of threats we now face from sophisticated criminals, corporate espionage spies, international terrorists, and foreign defense and intelligence agencies,” said David Chandler, CEO of INTEGRITY Global Security. “Corporations and government entities either have a false sense of security or know that their computers and networks can be compromised. Most see no escape from the fail-first, patch-later status quo. Some even take the drastic measure of unplugging their computers from the Internet. Now, information security officers will be relieved to know that military grade security is, for the first time, available to the enterprise.”

The first and only operating system certified to EAL6+ High Robustness in accordance with the international Common Criteria security standard:

INTEGRITY was designed from the ground up to achieve the highest level of security – EAL7. NIAP awarded the certification after years of rigorous evaluation, including verification of formal methods that mathematically prove security, and penetration testing by the experts at the NSA who had complete access to the operating system source code.

The Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) reflects the degree of confidence in the level of security claimed. EAL6+ High Robustness corresponds to “security services and mechanisms that provide the most stringent protection and rigorous security countermeasures.” Only an EAL6+ High Robustness operating system is certified to protect classified information and other high value resources from attack by hostile and well-funded attackers.

In contrast, the vast majority of IT products and operating systems available today are only certified to EAL4+. This level of security is appropriate for “inadvertent and casual attempts to breach the system security.”
