Red Hat Enterprise Linux has further solidified itself as a platform of choice for users requiring more secure computing, with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6 achieving Common Criteria Certification as well as Commercial Solutions for Classified Status.

For Common Criteria, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6 was certified by the National Information Assurance Partnership, with testing and validation completed by Acumen Security, a U.S. government-accredited laboratory.

The platform was tested and validated against the Common Criteria Standard for Information Security Evaluation against version 4.2.1 of the NIAP General Purpose Operating System Protection Profile and is the latest Red Hat Enterprise Linux version to appear on the NIAP Product Compliant List.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6 is now an approved TLS Protected Server component for Commercial Solutions for Classified solutions and is included in the CSfC TLS Protected Servers Components List.

This revised certification is designed to be more predictable and better suited to an operating system with frequent minor releases like Red Hat Enterprise Linux, with future platform certifications intended to be aligned with this certification method.
