Executive Summary
RedSeal Platform v7.0.1, from RedSeal Networks, Inc., is the Target of Evaluation. The
results of this evaluation demonstrate that RedSeal Platform v7.0.1 meets the requirements of
Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) 2 augmented for the evaluated security functionality.
RedSeal Platform v7.0.1 is a Network Infrastructure Security Management (NISM) platform
that continuously identifies attack risk and policy non-compliance in enterprise security
infrastructure.
The TOE collects configuration files and vulnerability scans from the network and performs
a set of network access checks against all known ingress points within an organization’s
network infrastructure. It uses this information to build a topology map. It then compares the
configurations and data it receives against a set of “best practices” baselines and defined
zone-based access policies, to identify high-risk security violations and policy compliance
issues such as weak firewall policies, default passwords, insecure services, known
vulnerabilities, and access permitted by the as-built network that violates zone access
policies. The TOE uses this information, user-defined values assigned to assets, and the asset
exposure to threat sources and potential downstream access to provide risk scoring and
annotated maps with potential attack vectors.
CSC Security Testing/Certification Laboratories is the CCEF that conducted the evaluation.
This evaluation was completed on 10 July 2014 and was carried out in accordance with the
rules of the Canadian Common Criteria Evaluation and Certification Scheme (CCS).
The scope of the evaluation is defined by the security target, which identifies assumptions
made during the evaluation, the intended environment for RedSeal Platform v7.0.1, and the
security functional/assurance requirements. Consumers are advised to verify that their
operating environment is consistent with that specified in the security target, and to give due
consideration to the comments, observations and recommendations in this certification
report.
Communications Security Establishment, as the CCS Certification Body, declares that the
RedSeal Platform v7.0.1 evaluation meets all the conditions of the Arrangement on the
Recognition of Common Criteria Certificates and that the product will be listed on the CCS
Certified Products list (CPL) and the Common Criteria portal (the official website of the
Common Criteria Project).

1 Identification of Target of Evaluation
The Target of Evaluation (TOE) for this EAL 2+ evaluation is RedSeal Platform v7.0.1
(hereafter referred to as RedSeal Platform v7.0.1), from RedSeal Networks, Inc.
2 TOE Description
RedSeal Platform v7.0.1 is a Network Infrastructure Security Management (NISM) platform
that continuously identifies attack risk and policy non-compliance in enterprise security
infrastructure.
The TOE collects configuration files and vulnerability scans from the network and performs
a set of network access checks against all known ingress points within an organization’s
network infrastructure. It uses this information to build a topology map. It then compares the
configurations and data it receives against a set of “best practices” baselines and defined
zone-based access policies, to identify high-risk security violations and policy compliance
issues such as weak firewall policies, default passwords, insecure services, known
vulnerabilities, and access permitted by the as-built network that violates zone access
policies. The TOE uses this information, user-defined values assigned to assets, and the asset
exposure to threat sources and potential downstream access to provide risk scoring and
annotated maps with potential attack vectors.

9 Evaluation Analysis Activities
The evaluation analysis activities involved a structured evaluation of RedSeal Platform
v7.0.1, including the following areas:
Development: The evaluators analyzed the RedSeal Platform v7.0.1 functional specification
and design documentation; they determined that the design completely and accurately
describes the TOE security functionality (TSF) interfaces, the TSF subsystems and how the
TSF implements the security functional requirements (SFRs). The evaluators analyzed the
RedSeal Platform v7.0.1 security architectural description and determined that the
initialization process is secure, that the security functions are protected against tamper and
bypass, and that security domains are maintained. The evaluators also independently verified
that the correspondence mappings between the design documents are correct.
Guidance Documents: The evaluators examined the RedSeal Platform v7.0.1 preparative
user guidance and operational user guidance and determined that it sufficiently and
unambiguously describes how to securely transform the TOE into its evaluated configuration
and how to use and administer the product. The evaluators examined and tested the
preparative and operational guidance, and determined that they are complete and sufficiently
detailed to result in a secure configuration.
Life-cycle support: An analysis of the RedSeal Platform v7.0.1 configuration management
system and associated documentation was performed. The evaluators found that the RedSeal
Platform v7.0.1 configuration items were clearly marked.
The evaluators examined the delivery documentation and determined that it described all of
the procedures required to maintain the integrity of RedSeal Platform v7.0.1 during
distribution to the consumer.
The evaluators reviewed the flaw remediation procedures used by developer for the RedSeal
Platform v7.0.1. During a site visit, the evaluators also examined the evidence generated by
adherence to the procedures. The evaluators concluded that the procedures are adequate to
track and correct security flaws, and distribute the flaw information and corrections to

10 ITS Product Testing
Testing consists of the following three steps: assessing developer tests, performing
independent functional tests, and performing penetration tests.
10.1 Assessment of Developer Tests
The evaluators verified that the developer has met their testing responsibilities by examining
their test evidence, and reviewing their test results, as documented in the ETR1
.
The evaluators analyzed the developer’s test coverage analysis and found it to be complete
and accurate. The correspondence between the tests identified in the developer’s test
documentation and the functional specification was complete.
10.2 Independent Functional Testing
During this evaluation, the evaluator developed independent functional tests by examining
design and guidance documentation.
All testing was planned and documented to a sufficient level of detail to allow repeatability
of the testing procedures and results. Resulting from this test coverage approach is the
following list of test goals:
a. Repeat of Developer's Tests: The objective of this test goal is to repeat a subset of the
developer's tests;
b. TLS Communication: The objective of this test goal is to confirm the correct functioning
of using TLS to protect communication;
c. Checksum Verification: The objective of this test goal is to exercise the integrity
mechanism used to verify the TOE;
d. Password Storage: The objective of this test goal is to confirm that passwords are
protected from unauthorized access; and
e. Network Assessment: The objective of this test goal is to exercise the network
assessment capabilities of the TOE.
