Evaluations are performed by a commercial Common Criteria Evaluation Facility (CCEF) under the oversight of the CCS Certification Body, which is managed by the Communications Security Establishment. A CCEF is a commercial facility that has been approved by the CCS Certification Body to perform Common Criteria evaluations; a significant requirement for such approval is accreditation to the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025:2005, the General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories. Accreditation is performed under the Program for the Accreditation of Laboratories - Canada (PALCAN), administered by the Standards Council of Canada. The CCEF that carried out this evaluation is EWA-Canada. By awarding a Common Criteria certificate, the CCS Certification Body asserts that the product complies with the security requirements specified in the associated security target. A security target is a requirements specification document that defines the scope of the evaluation activities. The consumer of certified IT products should review the security target, in addition to this certification report, in order to gain an understanding of any assumptions made during the evaluation, the IT product's intended environment, the evaluated security functionality, and the testing and analysis conducted by the CCEF. This certification report is associated with the certificate of product evaluation dated 3 May 2016 and the security target identified in Section 4 of this report. The certification report, certificate of product evaluation and security target are posted on the CCS Certified Products list (CPL) and the Common Criteria portal (the official website of the Common Criteria Project).

The results of this evaluation demonstrate that McAfee NSP Sensors is conformant with the Protection Profile for Network Devices, v1.1, June 8, 2012 (hereafter referred to as the NDPP). McAfee NSP Sensors are built for the detection of intrusions, denial of service (DoS) attacks, distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks and network misuse. The NSP Sensor component performs: • Traffic Capture, which captures packets into a data store for review; • Load balancing and protocol verification, which makes security decisions such that it can filter packets of no interest; • Denial of Service detection and response; and • Signature detection and anomaly detection. EWA-Canada is the CCEF that conducted the evaluation. This evaluation was completed on 3 May 2016 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 McAfee NSP Sensors, 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 McAfee NSP Sensors 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).

Guidance Documents: The evaluators examined the McAfee NSP Sensors 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 McAfee NSP Sensors configuration management system and associated documentation was performed. The evaluators found that the McAfee NSP Sensors configuration items were clearly marked. All these evaluation activities resulted in PASS verdicts. CCS Certification Report Intel Corporation McAfee Network Security Platform M-Series and NS-Series Sensors ___________________________________________________________________________ Version 1.0 3 May 2016 - Page 8 of 9 - 10 ITS Product Testing Testing consists of the following three steps: assessing developer tests, performing independent functional tests, and performing penetration tests. 10.1 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. NDPP required assurance activities: The objective of this test goal is to perform the assurance activities mandated by the NDPP to which the TOE is claiming conformance. 10.2 Independent Penetration Testing Subsequent to the independent review of public domain vulnerability databases and all evaluation deliverables, limited independent evaluator penetration testing was conducted. The penetration tests focused on: a. NDPP required assurance activities. The evaluator performed the assurance activities mandated by the protection profile to which the TOE is claiming conformance; and b. Use of automated vulnerability scanning tools to discover potential network, platform and application layer vulnerabilities. The independent penetration testing did not uncover any exploitable vulnerabilities in the intended operating environment. 10.3 Conduct of Testing McAfee NSP Sensors was subjected to a comprehensive suite of formally documented, independent functional and penetration tests. The testing took place at the Information Technology Security Evalution and Test Facility. The detailed testing activities, including configurations, procedures, test cases, expected results and observed results are documented in a separate Test Results document. 10.4 Testing Results The independent tests yielded the expected results, providing assurance that McAfee NSP Sensors behaves as specified in its ST and functional specification. 11 Results of the Evaluation This evaluation has provided the basis for an NDPP conformance claim. The overall verdict for the evaluation is PASS. These results are supported by evidence in the ETR.
