The McAfee® Hercules® Policy Auditor and McAfee® Hercules® Remediation Manager Version 4.5 (McAfee® Hercules®) was the subject of a Common Criteria evaluation performed by the Common Criteria Evaluation Facility at EWA-Canada, located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The evaluation was completed in April 2008.
The evaluation of the McAfee® Hercules® solution determined that this Information Technology (IT) product can be trusted, at an assurance level of EAL 3, to conform to the requirements of the associated security target.
The McAfee® Hercules® is designed to facilitate the automatic vulnerability remediation of devices on large-scale enterprise Microsoft® Windows®, Solaris™, Red Hat® Linux®, HP-UX®, AIX®, Tru64®, and Mac OS® X based networks. The product imports vulnerability information from a number of third party commercial vulnerability scanner products and consolidates this information into a single view of the vulnerabilities of each device on the network. The product provides a sequence of automatically executable remediation steps to correct each recognized vulnerability. Users of the product may download new signatures from the V-Flash server operated by McAfee®. The McAfee® Hercules® solution provides an interface which allows users to view the listed vulnerabilities of devices on the network. Logical groupings of devices may be defined. An automatic remediation schedule may be defined for a group. In addition, a specific list of vulnerabilities to be remediated, known as a remediation profile may be defined for the group.
The scope of this evaluation is defined by the security target, which identifies assumptions made during the evaluation, the intended environment for the McAfee® Hercules® solution, the IT security requirements to be met, and the level of confidence (evaluation assurance level) to which it is asserted that the McAfee® Hercules® solution 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 the McAfee® Hercules.
