Security Architecture & Evaluation Criteria Framework | CISSP Bits
The Common Criteria as a Global Standard for Cybersecurity
The Common Criteria is a framework established in the early 1990s. It integrates the strengths of both the Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria and Information Technology Security Evaluation Criteria, while mitigating their weaknesses. It offers more flexibility than the Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria and is more straightforward than the Information Technology Security Evaluation Criteria.
Why is it important to Cyber Security?
As a globally recognized standard, the Common Criteria simplifies the ratings for customers, eliminating the need to comprehend different ratings within various evaluation schemes. This standardization plays a crucial role in enhancing cybersecurity by providing a clear and consistent evaluation criterion.
How can it be useful to the industry?
For manufacturers and industry stakeholders, the Common Criteria is incredibly beneficial. It allows customers to adhere to one specific set of requirements for international sales, rather than having to satisfy multiple different ratings with diverse rules and requirements. This not only streamlines the process but also promotes broader acceptance of their products in the global market.
