SANTA BARBARA, CA and WASHINGTON, DC -- (Marketwire) -- 11/18/08 -- INTEGRITY GlobalSecurity, a wholly owned subsidiary of Green Hills Software Inc. and theleading expert in providing the certified High Robustness IT securitysolutions for government and commercial enterprises, today announced thatthe INTEGRITY®-178B operating system has been certified by the NationalInformation Assurance Partnership (NIAP), a U.S. government initiativeoperated by the National Security Agency (NSA), to Common CriteriaEvaluation Assurance Level (EAL) 6+, High Robustness.

"This certification is the first time NIAP has certified that an operatingsystem is capable of defeating intentional, hostile attacks -- the types ofthreats we now face from sophisticated criminals, corporate espionagespies, international terrorists, and foreign defense and intelligenceagencies," said David Chandler, CEO of INTEGRITY Global Security."Corporations and government entities either have a false sense of securityor know that their computers and networks can be compromised. Most see noescape from the fail-first, patch-later status quo. Some even take thedrastic measure of unplugging their computers from the Internet. Now,information security officers will be relieved to know that military gradesecurity is, for the first time, available to the enterprise."

The first and only operating system certified to EAL6+ High Robustness inaccordance with the international Common Criteria security standard:

INTEGRITY was designed from the ground up to achieve the highest level ofsecurity -- EAL7. NIAP awarded the certification after years of rigorousevaluation, including verification of formal methods that mathematicallyprove security, and penetration testing by the experts at the NSA who hadcomplete access to the operating system source code.

The Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) reflects the degree of confidence inthe level of security claimed. EAL6+ High Robustness corresponds to"security services and mechanisms that provide the most stringentprotection and rigorous security countermeasures." Only an EAL6+ HighRobustness operating system is certified to protect classified informationand other high value resources from attack by hostile and well-fundedattackers.

In contrast, the vast majority of IT products and operating systemsavailable today are only certified to EAL4+. This level of security isappropriate for "inadvertent and casual attempts to breach the systemsecurity."
