"Cyber security is a critical issue for government agencies as they need to protect sensitive data from both external and internal threats," said Bruno Kurtic, vice president of product management for SenSage. "SenSage compliance reporting and forensics solutions are directly mapped to government agency and contractor auditing requirements, and FIPS 140-2 validation is a significant milestone in validating our capabilities."

The FIPS 140-2 standard is a joint effort by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the United States and the Communications Security Establishment (CSEC) under the Canadian government. The Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP), headed by NIST, provides module and algorithm testing for FIPS 140-2 which applies to federal agencies using validated cryptographic modules to protect sensitive government data in computer and telecommunication systems. FIPS 140-2 provides stringent third-party assurance of security claims on any product containing cryptography that may be purchased by a government agency. The In Process listing can be viewed at http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/140InProcess.pdf.

"The FIPS 140-2 validation process standard is stringent and complex, and only products that are well designed and thoroughly proven are able to pass," said Matthew Appler, CEO and co-founder of Corsec Security, Inc., a consulting firm with over 11 years of validation experience. "SenSage solutions meet all the criteria necessary to achieve government certification."

The FIPS standard, which is mandated by law in the United States and very strictly enforced in Canada, is also currently being reviewed by ISO to become an international standard. FIPS 140-2 is gaining worldwide recognition as an important benchmark for third party validations of encryption products of all kinds. FIPS 140-2 validation of the SenSage Private Encryption File System will provide users with a high degree of security, assurance and dependability.
