STONESOFT OYJ 
By Helsinki, Finland - 18 January 2012- Network security vendor Stonesoft today announced its Stonesoft Firewall network security solution has obtained the CSPN (Certification de Sécurité de Premier Niveau) ) certification delivered by ANSSI (French Network and Information Security Agency) in France.
The Stonesoft Firewall solution met all the evaluation criteria, thereby acquiring the CSPN qualification. In practice, this means that organizations deploying the Stonesoft Firewall solution are guaranteed that it is compliant with the relevant security specifications. During the certification process the product security mechanisms are tested against every known vulnerability in the product category and against evasion of security features.
"Obtaining this governmental certification is a further milestone in the strong growth of our business. Although we are already EAL4+ certified, this new certification will enable Stonesoft to address the public sector. As the first non-French vendor certified by the ANSSI, we offer a viable alternative to local firewall solutions", said Leonard Dahan, Country Manager for Stonesoft France & Benelux.
"Stonesoft has more than 20 years experience in network security and our solutions are already used by more than 50 government departments around the world. I am sure that also the French public sector will appreciate the opportunity to utilize our technology and expertise", said Juha Kivikoski, COO at Stonesoft.
Stonesoft received the CSPN certification on December 19th 2011 under the reference ANSSI-CSPN-2011/14.
Stonesoft obtained the elementary qualification N°3431/ANSSI/SR/RDL on December 22nd 2011.
