HYCU Becomes First Data Protection Solution to Attain Common Criteria Certification for Collaboration Protection Profile (cPP)

HYCU, Inc., a leader in modern data protection as a service
and one of the fastest growing companies in the industry, today announced that
HYCU for Enterprise Clouds achieved Common Criteria certification for Collaboration Protection
Profile (cPP). This marks the first data protection solution to gain this
significant certification after comprehensive and rigorous checks including
security audits, cryptography, algorithms and random number generation,
certificate handling and user authentication, security management, and secure
storage of usernames.

Within Common
Criteria, the cPP certification is mutually recognized by all 31 participating countries. HYCU for Enterprise Clouds
certification is also recognized by all participating countries. Common
Criteria is widely regarded as the leading benchmark for IT product security
certification. IT users increasingly expect Common Criteria certification in
their choice of solutions as trusted and reliable for specific cybersecurity
capabilities.

“The Common
Criteria certification marks another significant milestone for HYCU,” said
Subbiah Sundaram, SVP, Product at HYCU. “We are proud to be the first
enterprise backup and recovery solution for enterprise clouds to achieve this
important recognition, reinforcing our commitment to partners and customers in
ensuring documented security measures and rigorous validation by qualified
third parties. A huge thank you to our outstanding engineering leadership and
engineering team for spending the necessary time needed to get this
certification completed.”

The Common
Criteria certification has attained global recognition for assessing and
certifying the security features and capabilities of IT products. It signifies
that the solution undergoing certification has passed a rigorous evaluation by
an independent third-party laboratory and ensures the solution has achievable,
repeatable, and testable security. For HYCU’s growing customer base which
includes government agencies, Common Criteria certification has been mandated
for procuring IT products, especially for use in sensitive environments such as
defense, finance, healthcare, and critical infrastructure.

“As
cyberthreats escalate and more data than ever is compromised due to simple
human error as well as malicious attacks by ransomware groups, the Common
Criteria certification provides assurance that HYCU customers are protected and
prepared for the worst,” said Angela Heindl-Schober, SVP, Global Marketing, at
HYCU. “It is testament to the continued work our team does to meet rigorous
industry regulations and to keep all data protected and safe.”

“We’re
excited to see HYCU achieve this certification, recognizing its importance for
our Federal and government agency customers who require certified security
validation for their solutions,” said Evan Slack, Sales Director who leads
the HYCU Team at Carahsoft. “We look forward to continuing our joint work
with HYCU and our reseller partners to ensure data is secure and protected for
all of our customers.”
