FOREWORD
The Canadian Common Criteria Evaluation and Certification Scheme (CCS) provide a third-
party evaluation service for determining the trustworthiness of Information Technology (IT)
security products. 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 CGI IT Security Evaluation & Test Facility.
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 evaluation laboratory.
This certification report is associated with the certificate of product evaluation dated 05 May
2014, 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).

1 Identification of Target of Evaluation
Lancope StealthWatch v6.3.5 (hereafter referred to as StealthWatch v6.3.5), from Lancope,
Inc., is the Target of Evaluation. The StealthWatch v6.3.5 is conformant with the Protection
Profile for Network Devices, v1.1, June 8, 2012 (hereafter referred to as the NDPP).
2 TOE Description
StealthWatch v6.3.5 monitors network traffic for health, performance, and security anomalies
and is comprised of the following components:
 FlowCollector appliance which serves as the network flow collection and analysis
point;
 FlowSensor appliance which gathers packet-level details of network flows in order to
provide deep packet inspection of network data flows; and
 StealthWatch Management Console (SMC) which manages the other components and
provides the user interfaces that allows Administrators to control the configuration for
each StealthWatch component.
The FlowSensor(s) forward flow data to the FlowCollector which aggregates all gathered
data and forwards it to the Management Console for analysis and reporting. Administrators
can review gathered data from the SMC web interface.
The TOE functionality included within the scope of the evaluation is limited to the secure
management features described in the NDPP.
A diagram of the StealthWatch v6.3.5 architecture is depicted below. The red dotted line

6 Assumptions and Clarification of Scope
Consumers of StealthWatch v6.3.5 should consider assumptions about usage and
environmental settings as requirements for the product’s installation and its operating
environment. This will ensure the proper and secure operation of the TOE.
6.1 Secure Usage Assumptions
The following Secure Usage Assumptions are listed in the ST:
 There are no general-purpose computing capabilities (e.g., compilers or user
applications) available on the TOE, other than those services necessary for the
operation, administration and support of the TOE; and
 TOE Administrators are trusted to follow and apply all administrator guidance in a
trusted manner.
6.2 Environmental Assumptions
The following Environmental Assumption is listed in the ST:
 Physical security, commensurate with the value of the TOE and the data it contains, is
provided by the environment.
6.3 Clarification of Scope
The StealthWatch v6.3.5 network monitoring functionality was not included within the scope
of this evaluation.
The FIPS validation is vendor affirmed and has been ported according to Implementation
Guidance for FIPS PUB 140-2 and the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (FIPS IG

9 Evaluation Analysis Activities
The evaluation analysis activities involved a structured evaluation of StealthWatch v6.3.5,
including the following areas:
Development: The evaluators analyzed the StealthWatch v6.3.5 functional specification and
determined that the functional specification describes the purpose and method of use for each
TSF interface and that the StealthWatch v6.3.5 functional specification is an accurate and
complete instantiation of the SFRs.
Guidance Documents: The evaluators examined the StealthWatch v6.3.5 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 StealthWatch v6.3.5 configuration management
documentation was performed. The evaluators found that the StealthWatch v6.3.5
configuration items were clearly marked.
All these evaluation activities resulted in PASS verdicts.

10 ITS Product Testing
Testing consists of the following two steps: 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 CGI IT Security Evaluation & Test Facility test goal:
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
StealthWatch v6.3.5 was subjected to a comprehensive suite of formally documented,
independent functional and penetration tests. The testing took place at the Information
Technology Security Evaluation and Test Facility. The CCS Certification Body witnessed a
portion of the independent testing. 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 StealthWatch
v6.3.5 behaves as specified in its ST and functional specification.
11 Results of the Evaluation
This evaluation has provided the basis for a NDPP conformance claim as claimed in Section
5. The overall verdict for the evaluation is PASS. These results are supported by evidence in
the ETR.
