The Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold suite of network, application and server monitoring software has been certified under the Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme (CCEVS).
Common Criteria is an internationally recognized standard allowing public and private sector organizations to confidently assess the security and assurance of IT software.
As a result of the certification, Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold software meets mandates for US Federal government agencies running applications in National Security Systems (NSS) environments.
“With Common Criteria certification in place, our customers have the added confidence that our WhatsUp Gold products have been validated against rigorous security standards covering user data protection, fault tolerance, authentication and more,” said Lourdes Engel, SVP of Research & Development at Ipswitch. “Ipswitch remains committed to adhering to and advancing security best practices for our broad portfolio of software solutions.”
WhatsUp Gold software products that now meet Common Criteria standards include:
- WhatsUp Gold Premium that monitors networks, applications and servers
- WhatsUp Application Performance Monitor that assesses the impact of complex application performance problems wherever they originate
- WhatsUp Gold Flow Monitor that analyzes and manages network traffic and bandwidth utilization
- WhatsConfigured that manages network configurations and changes
- WhatsVirtual that monitors virtual servers
Common Criteria was adopted by the International Standards Organization and embodied in a Common Criteria Mutual Recognition Arrangement that covers more than two dozen countries worldwide. The arrangement leverages the use of Common Criteria certificates by each member nation so that products can be procured without the need for further evaluation.

A new wave of tariffs, some exceeding 100%, is sending shockwaves across the technology industry. Enterprises are grappling with sudden, dramatic cost increases that threaten to disrupt carefully planned budgets, sourcing strategies, and deployment plans. For CIOs and CTOs, this isn't just an economic setback; it's a wake-up call. The era of predictable cloud pricing and stable global supply chains is over ...
As artificial intelligence (AI) adoption gains momentum, network readiness is emerging as a critical success factor. AI workloads generate unpredictable bursts of traffic, demanding high-speed connectivity that is low latency and lossless. AI adoption will require upgrades and optimizations in data center networks and wide-area networks (WANs). This is prompting enterprise IT teams to rethink, re-architect, and upgrade their data center and WANs to support AI-driven operations ...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is core to observability practices, with some 41% of respondents reporting AI adoption as a core driver of observability, according to the State of Observability for Financial Services and Insurance report from New Relic ...
Application performance monitoring (APM) is a game of catching up — building dashboards, setting thresholds, tuning alerts, and manually correlating metrics to root causes. In the early days, this straightforward model worked as applications were simpler, stacks more predictable, and telemetry was manageable. Today, the landscape has shifted, and more assertive tools are needed ...
Cloud adoption has accelerated, but backup strategies haven't always kept pace. Many organizations continue to rely on backup strategies that were either lifted directly from on-prem environments or use cloud-native tools in limited, DR-focused ways ... Eon uncovered a handful of critical gaps regarding how organizations approach cloud backup. To capture these prevailing winds, we gathered insights from 150+ IT and cloud leaders at the recent Google Cloud Next conference, which we've compiled into the 2025 State of Cloud Data Backup ...
