Secure Solutions for Network Communications

ATCA and COTSThe good news? Faster access to information and communication through greater data bandwidth. The bad? The growing need for more security in the network.

Linux has become the operating system of choice for today's data-intensive communications infrastructure and network elements. Access to the developer talent pool, the library of APIs and open sources technologies, and the breadth of the ecosystem are the big attractions. But until now, many companies have believed Linux is just too risky in systems where privacy, data integrity, and system access control are key concerns.

What's Our Solution?

Wind River Linux Secure

For the first time, organizations that require medium to high security and robustness in their embedded software have the option of using the world's most popular operating system in mission-critical deployments. Wind River Linux Secure was certified to EAL4+ using the General Purpose Operating System Protection Profile (GP-OSPP), to the FIPS 140-2 standard for secure cryptography, and to the highest level of assurance for systematic flaw remediation (ALC_FLR.3). It achieved these certifications on popular embedded hardware architectures from Intel, Freescale, and Texas Instruments.

Wind River Linux Secure saves time and money and reduces risk. It also interfaces seamlessly with other Wind River platforms, enabling teams to choose the best operating system for the task at hand.
