Common Criteria

WebSphere ESB is compliant with the Common Criteria standards developed by the National Institute of Science and Technology.

The National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) has developed Common Criteria to insure you have a safe option for downloading software to use on your systems. Information held by IT products or systems is a critical resource that enables organizations to succeed in their mission. Additionally, individuals have a reasonable expectation that their personal information contained in IT products or systems remain private, be available to them as needed, and not be subject to unauthorized modification. IT products or systems should perform their functions while exercising proper control of the information to ensure it is protected against hazards such as unwanted or unwarranted dissemination, alteration, or loss. The term IT security is used to cover prevention and mitigation of these and similar hazards.

Many consumers of IT lack the knowledge, expertise or resources necessary to judge whether their confidence in the security of their IT products or systems is appropriate, and they may not wish to rely solely on the assertions of the developers. Consumers may therefore choose to increase their confidence in the security measures of an IT product or system by ordering an analysis of its security (in other words, a security evaluation).

More information about Common Criteria can be found on the Support site, including recommended updates for WebSphere Application Server and WebSphere ESB.
