McAfee Email And Web Security Appliance Version 5.5 Patch 2 (hereafter referred to as McAfee EWS Appliance) from McAfee Inc. was the subject of a Common Criteria evaluation performed by the Common Criteria Evaluation Facility at Domus ITSL, located in Ottawa, Canada. The evaluation was completed on 13 October 2010.
The evaluation of McAfee EWS Appliance determined that this Information Technology (IT) product can be trusted, at an assurance level of EAL 2 augmented with ALC_FLR.2, to conform to the requirements of the associated security target.
McAfee EWS Appliance is a scalable hardware/software appliance that provides a comprehensive security solution for Internet and Email services. Through a series of security scanning, alert and configured actions, and detailed content filtering options, the McAfee EWS appliance protects user and company IT resources from a variety of internet and email threats. Threats and resource liabilities such as viruses, potentially unwanted programs (including spyware), spam and phishing attempts are identified and systematically blocked from protected IT resources. In addition, content filtering allows administrators to assure that inappropriate content or bandwidth usage is actively thwarted. McAfee EWS Appliance also supports auditing, identification and authentication of administrators, and security management tools.
The scope of this evaluation is defined by the security target, which identifies assumptions made during the evaluation, the intended environment for the McAfee EWS Appliance, the IT security requirements to be met, and the level of confidence (evaluation assurance level) to which it is asserted that the McAfee EWS Appliance satisfies its IT security requirements.
Consumers are advised to carefully review the certification report to gain an understanding of the security functionality, the evaluated configuration, and the intended operating environment for McAfee EWS Appliance.
