Re: vSphere 5.1 Common Criteria Security Certification update

Well that makes two of us Matt.

 

I sometimes wonder how many users care about the certification details and how many are just happy to see that a product achieves certification.

 

Protection Profiles would make sense, particularly for areas of protection like the VM resource and fault isolation. I'd expect to see the most repeated protections related to virtualisation applications would be implemented in the hypervisor / supervisor / monitor components. So maybe that's another reason vSphere 5.1 is going for EAL2+ and there is further work going into describing vSphere 6.0 in terms of the proposed PP?

 

Or maybe CCEVS will drop out of favour as the Software Defined Data Centre pushes the what and how of security certifications.

 

Some of VMware's certification strategy may be commercially sensitive, but if Eric was to put together what you've suggested then I'd certainly be very interested.
