Separation Kernel achieves EAL 5+

Sysgo has responded to the increased threat situation in the area of cyber security: The Separation Kernel PikeOS 5.1.3. achieves EAL 5+.

The Separation Kernel now meets the most widely used security certification standard Common Criteria (CC) - also known as ISO 15408 - level EAL 5+ for the ARMv8, x86-64 and PPC application processor architectures. The higher EAL level ensures that the PikeOS has been developed semi-formally and tested against vulnerabilities that are becoming increasingly complex to exploit. System architects and embedded software developers benefit from this high level of security and, according to Sysgo, can rely on the security measures of PikeOS against sabotage and data theft. Target markets for Sysgo's PikeOS real-time operating system and hypervisor include all safety-critical applications, particularly in the avionics, defense, automotive, rail, medical, industrial and aerospace sectors.
