mtG test centre for IT security worked out IT-Security certificate for Netviewer-Technology
The test centre for IT security operated by media transfer AG performed a successful
evaluation of a solution for online support manufactured by Netviewer AG (Karlsruhe,
Germany). Netviewer AG now achieved a German IT-security certificate.
"mtG specalists performed the evaluation with high level skills and large personal engagement", says Oliver Schwartz, head of corporate communications at Netviewer AG. "Communication with the testing staff helped us to further increase the already high security level of our solution. We are extremely satisfied about the successful collaboration in a very complex technical environment."
The globally defined Common Criteria are an international standard (ISO/IEC 15408) which make it possible to evaluate and compare the IT security of products and systems. IT security certificates according to Common Criteria are internationally recognised, increase confidence in products and are often a requirement for use, for example in an eGovernment environment. The security functions of the certified Netviewer system prevent that attackers are able to read or manipulate messages exchanged via the system and thus compromise the system's security.
"mtG is one of only 12 German companies which have been accredited as a test centre for IT security in the area of Common Criteria" says Thomas Martin, head of the test centre. "The demanding registration procedure at the Federal Office for Security in Information Technology proved the professional competence of our employees, as well as the necessary independence and objectivity to perform evaluations in a structured and reproducible way. Evaluation of the Netviewer technology was demanding, therefore we are very proud on this success."
The main focus in the mtG test centre is on consulting for users and manufacturers and on product evaluation in the topics of Germany's eCard projects, on PKI-based systems and applications (e.g. signature application components, encryption systems), on data transmission systems (e.g. IPSec and VPN solutions, WLAN, VoIP, OSCI), on payment systems and DRM systems.
