Industry Certifications

Government agencies rely on Riverbed’s technology to optimize existing infrastructure performance, improve productivity and comply with mandates. In supporting our customers, Riverbed meets the requirements of the following certification programs:

Common Criteria

The Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation is an international standard (ISO/IEC 15408) for computer security certification. Riverbed’s SteelHead platform has been certified at Evaluation Assurance Level Two Augmented with Flaw Remediation (EAL2+).

IPv6

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.

DISA STIG

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.

FIPS

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.

Section 508

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. Contact product management for more information.

CON

Certificate of Networthiness (CON) provides an operational assessment of systems, applications, and devices to determine supportability, sustainability, interoperability, and compliance with federal, DOD, and Army regulations and mandates.

CON applies to all organizations that use or manage ISs on the Army Enterprise Architecture/LandWarNet (LWN), including Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) and Government Off-the- Shelf (GOTS).

SOC

Service Organization Controls (SOC) 2^® Report — Controls at a Service Organization Relevant to Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality or Privacy. These reports provide information and assurance about the controls at a service organization that affect the security, availability, and processing integrity of the systems the organization uses to process users’ data. Riverbed's Aternity product is SOC 2 certified.

TAA

Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) requires that the U.S. government acquire only U.S.– made or designated country end products. Riverbed certifies that each of its products meets the applicable requirements and is approved for acquisition by the United States government.
