The US National Information Assurance Acquisition Policy (NSTISSP No 11)
mandates that US government agencies purchase information security products that
have been certified to the standards of the International Common Criteria for
Information Technology Security.

“This is more evidence validating that Secure Computing's solutions
continue to meet and exceed the stringent requirements established by
internationally recognized standards, approval processes and security industry
tests to protect networks at all levels. The Common Criteria certification
proves further that our e-mail security solutions are appropriate and effective
for guarding sensitive communications within government entities,” said Mike
Gallagher, Senior VP-Product Development and Support, Secure Computing.

Secure Mail is used to provide a secure e-mail connection between an
enterprise network and a public network such as the Internet. Secure Mail allows
an organization to define a complex mail policy to protect itself against a wide
variety of known and emerging threats. It resides in an all-inclusive device
positioned at the network gateway in front of the customer's existing e-mail
server.
