In early November, the largest international event related to the Common Criteria scheme was held in Doha, Qatar. The ICCC24 (International Common Criteria Conference) once again hosted top-tier speakers, exhibitors, laboratories, manufacturers, and experts, who discussed a variety of topics related to standardization, new cybersecurity schemes, new uses of Common Criteria, and more.
In 2024, as we have been doing since 2022 in collaboration with Applus+ Laboratories, in addition to delivering talks, we were also sponsors. This allowed us to have much more interaction with attendees and share our services at our stand.
In today's cybersecurity landscape, protecting business information and systems is more crucial than ever. One of the most valuable resources available to organizations is the STIC Product Catalogue from the Centro Criptológico Nacional (CCN), which has grown significantly in recent years. This catalogue allows entities to select products that meet the highest security standards, ensuring their systems are safeguarded against increasing cyber threats.
2023 was a great year for Common Criteria, breaking all the records. A total of 470 certifications were completed. This means that the number of certificates has experienced a large increase (83 more than 2022), setting a new record.
A few weeks ago, we bid farewell to 2023, making way for a 2024 that, truth be told, has started with quite some intensity, filling us with optimism and excitement for this year that has just begun.
