As security becomes an ever higher priority for the global
business community, IT decision makers need independent guidance
from third-party organizations they can trust. AEP proudly meets
this requirement through a series of important security
certifications.
Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS)
Government departments and federal agencies that manage
access to highly sensitive applications need 100% confidence
that their private data remains totally secure. The AEP Netilla
Security Platform (NSP) with Federal Information Processing
Standards (FIPS) support is designed to provide secure remote
access to highly confidential data to meet the most stringent
U.S., Canadian and U.K. security standards.
The FIPS-certified NSP leverages AEP Networks' revolutionary
ACCE Advanced Configurable Crypto Environment (ACCE) technology.
ACCE is the next generation, flexible cryptographic platform
that provides the highest levels of assurance: FIPS 140. With
the NSP FIPS appliance, employees and trusted partners can
quickly and securely reach key applications and sensitive data
while meeting the most stringent public sector security
requirements in use today.

ICSA Labs' Certified SSL VPN program
This coveted stamp of approval from ICSA Labs, an independent
division of TruSecure ® Corporation, indicates that our Netilla
Security Platform has successfully passed a rigorous set of
functional and security requirements, and is in full compliance
with ICSA's rigorous security standards.
To achieve certification, the Netilla Security Platform also
met the requirements outlined in ICSA Labs' Cryptography Product
Certification Program. Meeting these requirements ensures that
the Netilla Security Platform has implemented the cryptographic
mechanisms correctly and that it has passed ICSA Labs' rigorous
cryptographic tests.
Virtual Private Network Consortium (VPNC)
VPNC's certification program involves extensive testing that
mimics real-world experiences of SSL VPN users. The testing
guarantees security, functionality and interoperability with
business-critical applications, such as Microsoft Outlook Web
Access. Certification also assures SSL VPN users that they can
access applications remotely using the latest version of the
Mozilla Firefox browser.
VPNC certified the AEP Netilla Security Platform's support
for a broad range of SSL VPN features and included separate VPNC
testing programs for Basic Interoperability, SSL Portal, SSL
Exchange and SSL Firefox.
