Check Point Software Technologies Ltd., a pioneer and global leader of cybersecurity solutions, recently announced that its Quantum Firewall Software R82—the latest version of the company’s core network security software delivering advanced threat prevention and scalable policy management—has received Common Criteria EAL4+ certification, further reinforcing its position as a trusted security foundation for critical infrastructure, government, and defence organisations worldwide.

Check Point Meets World Standards

Certified by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), the Target of Evaluation (TOE) for Check Point’s R82 security platform—covering Security Gateway, Security Management, and M Maestro Orchestrator Hyperscale Network configurations—complies with the internationally recognised Common Criteria for IT Security Evaluation (ISO/IEC 15408) at Evaluation Assurance Level 4+, with augmentation components ALC_FLR.1 and AVA_VAN.4. The evaluation was independently conducted by TÜV Informationstechnik GmbH, a BSI-accredited testing facility.

Common Criteria is the most widely adopted framework for security certification of IT products, and EAL4+ is the highest level widely recognised for commercial technologies. The certification is accepted under the Common Criteria Recognition Arrangement (CCRA) and the European SOGIS Mutual Recognition Agreement (SOGIS-MRA), supporting deployment in over 30 participating nations.
