Huawei’s OceanStor Dorado All-Flash Storage has secured the Common Criteria (CC) Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) 4+ certification, setting a new benchmark for data security in storage products. The certification, the highest level achievable for storage systems, was issued by TrustCB and approved by SGS Brightsight, based in Delft, Netherlands, reads a press release.
The certification recognises Huawei’s comprehensive efforts to address the growing risks of cyberattacks, data breaches, and ransomware in an increasingly digital world. As digitalisation transforms industries globally, it brings with it heightened vulnerabilities in data security. Data storage, the backbone of the digital economy, plays a critical role as the last line of defense against these threats.
Huawei's OceanStor Dorado All-Flash Storage is designed to meet these challenges head-on. Equipped with intrinsic security features, the storage system integrates multilayered protection measures across its architecture design, source code, development environment, release, and deployment. Its advanced capabilities include ransomware protection, breach prevention, data backup, disaster recovery, and trusted data circulation, significantly enhancing data resilience.
The CC EAL certification is a globally recognized standard for IT product security, with levels ranging from EAL1 to EAL7. Higher levels indicate more rigorous testing and greater security assurance. The EAL4+ certification awarded to Huawei represents a significant upgrade from the EAL3+ level the company obtained in 2021. Achieving EAL4+ requires adherence to stringent standards for security functions, design, configuration management, and testing, alongside a detailed review of source code.
Huawei's accomplishment highlights its commitment to providing secure and reliable solutions for the digital economy. By achieving this top-tier certification, the company has reinforced its position as a leader in data infrastructure security, ensuring robust defense mechanisms for businesses and organizations worldwide.
