Overview

CESG is the Information Assurance arm of GCHQ and the UK Government’s National Technical Authority for IA, located in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.  CESG run a number of schemes in which their independent test labs perform analysis and inspection of security products to ensure that they meet the expected standard. CESG will then ‘certify’ the product, giving purchaser’s confidence that the product has a certain level of security quality. This endorsement can be of enormous value to SME’s who are trying to get their product accepted on the market.

Please join Steve Lewis, VP Business Development at AEP Networks and former employee at CESG who will provide insight into the various schemes run by CESG, and hear some best practice in putting your product through the certification process. There will also be an opportunity for Q&A at the end of the webinar to answer specific questions and queries.
