The IATF is organized by the National Security Agency to foster discussion among developers and users of digital security products. Today’s meeting focussed on Protection Profiles for intrusion detection systems. Products evaluated against the PPs are listed here. The process seems driven by the joint NIST-NSA group “designed to meet the security testing, evaluation, and assessment needs of both information technology (IT) producers and consumers” The people who validate products appear to be part of the National Information Assurance Partnership Common Criteria.”]
