7.3 Clarification of Scope
The EMC ControlCenter® 5.2 is intended for use by a non-hostile and well-managed user
community. It relies on the environment to provide it physical and logical protection.
8 Architectural Information
The TOE comprises three main components:
• EMC ControlCenter Console – provides administrative access to the ControlCenter
Infrastructure
• ControlCenter Infrastructure – acts as the centralized management, storage, and decision-
making point for the TOE
• Agents – provide intelligence to manage or monitor specific object domains (such as
Symmetrix storage arrays; Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows 2003, Solaris, HP-
UX, AIX, Linux, or Multiple Virtual Storage (MVS) hosts; and Fibre Channel switches)
The Console Component is a Java-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) software suite
which allows users to view, monitor, and administer the managed storage environment. It
includes SAN Manager, StorageScope, and Symmetrix Manager. SAN Manager allows
management of complex SAN environments. StorageScope provides integrated asset and
utilization reporting across multi-vendor storage infrastructures where Symmetrix Manager
allows administrators to monitor and configure Symmetrix platforms.
The ControlCenter Infrastructure Component controls web-based communications to the
TOE. The WebConsole Server Component allows the user to connect to the TOE via the
web-based programs “Web Console” or “StorageScope”. Both Web Console and
StorageScope allow users to monitor and report on a managed storage infrastructure.
The Agent Component consists of Agents that monitor specific physical and logical elements
within a storage environment. Agents are applications that collect data and monitor the
health of storage environment objects. There are several types of Agents - Host Agents,
Storage Agents, Database Agents, Backup Agents, Tape Agents, Connectivity Agents, and
Other Agents.

a. EMC ControlCenter 5.2 Service Pack 5 Planning And Installation Guide; and
b. EMC Corporation ControlCenter® 5.2 Service Pack 5 Common Criteria
Administrative Guide Supplement.
11 Evaluation Analysis Activities
The evaluation analysis activities involved a structured evaluation of the EMC
ControlCenter® 5.2, including the following areas:
Configuration management: An analysis of the EMC ControlCenter® 5.2 CM system and
associated documentation was performed. The evaluators found that the EMC
ControlCenter® 5.2 configuration items were clearly marked, and could be modified and
controlled. The developer’s configuration management system was observed during a site
visit, and it was found to be mature and well developed.
Secure delivery and operation: The evaluators examined the delivery documentation and
determined that it described all of the procedures required to maintain the integrity of the
EMC ControlCenter® 5.2 during distribution to the consumer. The evaluators examined and
tested the installation, generation and start-up procedures, and determined that they were
complete and sufficiently detailed to result in a secure configuration.
Life cycle: The flaw remediation process was carefully reviewed. There are adequate
procedures in place to track and correct security flaws, identify corrective actions, and
distribute the flaw information and corrections. A verification of this process was performed
during the site visit.
Design documentation: The evaluators analysed the EMC ControlCenter® 5.2 functional
specification and high-level design; they determined that the documents were internally
consistent, and completely and accurately instantiated all interfaces and security functions.
The evaluators also independently verified that the correspondence mappings between the
design documents were correct.
Guidance documents: The evaluators examined the EMC ControlCenter® 5.2 guidance
documentation and determined that it sufficiently and unambiguously described how to
securely use and administer the product, and that it was consistent with the other documents
supplied for evaluation.
Vulnerability assessment: The evaluators validated the developer’s vulnerability analysis
and found that it sufficiently described each of the potential vulnerabilities along with a
sound rationale as to why it was not exploitable in the intended environment. Additionally,
CCS Certification Report EMC ControlCenter® 5.2 Service Pack 5

the evaluators conducted an independent review of public domain vulnerability databases,
and all evaluation deliverables to provide assurance that the developer has considered all
potential vulnerabilities.
All these evaluation activities resulted in PASS verdicts.
12 ITS Product Testing
Testing at EAL 2+ consists of the following three steps: assessing developer tests,
performing independent functional tests, and performing independent penetration tests.
12.1 Assessment of Developer Tests
The evaluators verified that the developer had met their testing responsibilities by reviewing
the developer’s test plan, test approach, test procedure and test results, and examining their
test evidence, as documented in the Evaluation Technical Report (ETR)2
.
The evaluators analyzed the developer’s test coverage analysis, and found that the
correspondence between tests identified in the developer’s test documentation and the
functional specification was complete and accurate.
12.2 Independent Functional Testing
During this evaluation, the evaluator developed independent functional tests by examining
design and guidance documentation, examining the developer's test documentation,
executing a sample of the developer's test cases, and creating test cases that augmented the
developer tests.
All testing was planned and documented to a sufficient level of detail to allow repeatability
of the testing procedures and results. These tests focused on:
• Identification and authentication;
• Audit; and
• Users and Roles.
12.3 Independent Penetration Testing
Subsequent to the examination of the developer's vulnerability analysis and the independent
review of public domain vulnerability databases and all evaluation deliverables, limited
independent evaluator penetration testing was conducted. The penetration tests focused on:
• Generic vulnerabilities;
• Bypassing;

• Tampering; and
• Direct attacks.
Penetration tests included buffer overflow attacks, data interception attacks, denial of service
attacks, and attacks against externally accessible TOE components.
The independent penetration testing did not uncover any exploitable vulnerabilities in the
intended operating environment.
12.4 Conduct of Testing
The EMC ControlCenter® 5.2 was subjected to a comprehensive suite of formally
documented, independent functional and penetration tests. The testing took place at the
developer’s Massachusetts facility.
The detailed testing activities, including configurations, procedures, test cases, expected
results and observed results are documented in the ETR.
12.5 Testing Results
The developer’s tests and the independent functional tests yielded the expected results,
giving assurance that the EMC ControlCenter® 5.2 behaves as specified in its ST and
functional specification. The penetration testing resulted in a PASS verdict, as the evaluators
were unable to exploit any of the identified potential vulnerabilities in the EMC
ControlCenter® 5.2 in its intended operating environment.
13 Results of the Evaluation
This evaluation has provided the basis for an EAL 2+ level of assurance. The overall verdict
for the evaluation is PASS. These results are supported by evidence in the ETR.
14 Evaluator Comments, Observations and Recommendations
The complete documentation for the EMC ControlCenter® 5.2 includes a comprehensive
Installation and Administration Guide.
The EMC ControlCenter® 5.2 is straightforward to configure, use and integrate into a
corporate network.
EMC Corporation Configuration Management (CM) and Quality Assurance (QA) provide
the requisite controls for managing all CM/QA activities.
EWA-Canada performed separate site visits to review developer processes (ACM, ADO,
ALC, and ATE) and to repeat a sample of developer’s tests. Though development security
was not part of the evaluation, the evaluators observed that the developer was exceptionally
conscious of security. The physical, procedural, and personnel security measures meet or
exceed the assurance requirements of higher-level CC evaluations. This is reported on in the
