atsec evaluated Vanguard Enforcer 7.1 from its Austin-based Common Criteria test lab.

Vanguard Enforcer was developed by Vanguard Integrity Professionals, a leading supplier of enterprise mainframe security solutions. Vanguard also sponsored the certification effort. Enforcer is available to customers with IBM System z Security Server (RACF) implementations with a need to protect critical data and resources by continuously monitoring and analyzing mission-critical activities and events.
