Select Riverbed products fulfill the Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) requirements having completed the prescribed product development for IPv6 conformance and interoperability being tested by the University of New Hampshire’s InterOperability Laboratory.

The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) develops configuration standards known as Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGS) as one of the ways to maintain the security of DOD IT infrastructure.

These guides provide technical guidance to lock down information systems and/or software that might otherwise be vulnerable to an attack. SteelHead's STIG provides the technical security policies, requirements, and implementation details for applying security concepts to the product.  

Riverbed Cryptographic Security Module (RCSM) v1.0 defines the cryptographic module that separates the cryptography that is FIPS compliant from the rest of the Riverbed system. The RCSM is compatible with FIPS 140-2 Level -1 requirements. Unlike FIPS 140-2 Level 2 validation, which requires physical security mechanisms, Level 1 validates the software only.

Riverbed provides “Voluntary Product Accessibility Template” documents (VPAT) that detail the extent to which Riverbed products support Section 508 standards and are accessible to individuals with physical limitations.
