System Certification

MONTAVISTA’S SECURITY CERTIFICATION PROGRAM

Certifications play a pivotal role in ensuring the safety and compliance of embedded products in various markets. While Linux provides a robust platform for product development, it often lacks the specific tests and validations required in critical sectors like industrial, medical, telecom, networking, and military-aerospace. New security regulations like the EU Cyber Resilience Act and the US Executive Order on Cybersecurity have also brought a heightened focus on security and defect handling processes in embedded systems.

In response to these challenges, MontaVista introduces the MVSecure system certification program, providing expert consultancy for achieving compliance with security certifications required on your Linux embedded systems and next-gen applications.

NAVIGATING SECURITY STANDARDS AND REGULATIONS

MVSecure system certification program addresses the latest security standards and regulations, some of which include:

  • Common Criteria certification
