SANTA ROSA, Calif. (BUSINESS WIRE) lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/FedIT?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#FedITlt;/agt; Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS), a leading technology company
that helps enterprises, service providers, and governments accelerate
innovation to connect and secure the world, today announcedthat Ixia, a
Keysight Business, has achievedFederal
for itsVision portfolio of network packet brokers (NPBs). This ensures that all
cryptographic keys and algorithms conform to strict National Institute
of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Canadian Centre for Cyber
Security (CCCS) guidelines.
The
Cryptographic
(CMVP) is a joint effort between NIST inthe United States and CCCS, a branch of the Communications Security
Establishment(CSE). The CMVP validates cryptographic modules toFederal
Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2,Security Requirements for
, and other FIPS cryptography-basedstandards.Federal Agencies in the United States and Canada may acquire
active FIPS 140-2 cryptographic modules listed in theCMVP
for the protection of sensitiveinformation.
“Ixia is committed to helping federal agencies and other organizations
that require FIPS 140-2 validated cryptography protect their networks
and data,” said Recep Ozdag, vice president, product management for
Keysight’s Ixia Solutions Group. “Our investments in
thesecertifications assures government agencies, military, and other
security-conscious organizations that our visibility solutions meet the
highest standards of security integrity.”
All of Ixia’sNetwork
are now FIPS 140-2 validated in addition to earlier certifications for Vision ONE and Vision 7300 forCommon
andDoD
(UC APL). The followingFIPS 140-2 certificates were issued by the CMVP:
FIPS 140-2 Cert. # 3311Ixia Cryptographic Module for Network Visibility FIPS 140-2 Cert. # 3313
Ixia Cryptographic Module for OpenSSL
The certificatesare valid on all Ixia Vision NPBs including Vision ONE,
Vision 7300, Vision Edge 10S, Vision Edge 100, Vision Edge 40 and
TradeVision, Ixia’s market data monitoring platform, as well as the
Vision Edge OS. The certificates will also be valid on future Vision
NPBs.
Ixia’s NPBs allow businesses to see inside their networks and data
centers. Ixia’s NPBs deliver intelligent, sophisticated and programmable
network flow optimization providing visibility and security coverage to
business assets. This helps IT teams quickly resolve performance
bottlenecks, troubleshoot problems, improve data center automation,
optimize expensive network analysis and security tools and enhance
business execution.
