Hybrid work is here to stay. And to enable it, organizations need solutions they can trust to provide secure and reliable access to the systems and information employees need to get work done, wherever they happen to be. Purchasing them can be a complex process – particularly in the public sector, where specific procedures must be followed. But Citrix Systems, Inc. is making it easier. The company announced that Citrix ADC™ version 12.1 has achieved Common Criteria Certification, enabling procurement professionals across the public sector to buy the solution, now recognized as secure in over 30 countries, in a fast, efficient manner that aligns with their policies.
Common Criteria Certification is an international security program in which accredited laboratories test and evaluate IT products against a standard agreed upon by over 30 countries through the Common Criteria Recognition Arrangement (CCRA). Citrix has received several certifications for its solutions, including the latest, Citrix ADC version 12.1, which was certified by the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP), and successfully met all the requirements to earn the final designation of NDcPP v2.2e.
