Description (French)
Projet de collaboration canadienne – ACAM - La technologie mobile est une composante essentielle des infrastructures critiques. Les normes mondiales de test de sécurité telles que les Critères communs (ISO 15408) et FIPS 140 constituent les certifications de base en matière d'assurance de la sécurité pour les nouveaux systèmes logiciels et matériels critiques. Field Effect et Lightship Security proposent de commercialiser la combinaison de leurs plateformes de test de pointe Noble et Greenlight, respectivement. Cette nouvelle plateforme permettra d'automatiser les tests de conformité des dispositifs mobiles et des systèmes de gestion des dispositifs mobiles par rapport aux profils de protection des Critères communs reconnus au niveau international. Ces tests automatisés seront nécessaires pour répondre à une demande induite par la croissance de la technologie mobile, notamment la 5G, et constitueront une avancée perturbatrice.
