Commitment to Security

"Earning NPSA accreditation demonstrates AMAG’s commitment to delivering trusted, future-ready security solutions that meet advanced national standards," said AMAG Technology Vice President, Technical Services, Ryan Howarth.

He added that this assurance allows customers in critical infrastructure, government, and enterprise sectors to operate confidently, knowing that cyber assurance and physical protection are integral to every Symmetry Enterprise system.

Advanced Security Standards

The CAPSS standard from NPSA ensures cyber defense is melded into every stage of the product development

The CAPSS standard from NPSA ensures cyber defense is integrated into every stage of the product development and manufacturing process, protecting against emerging digital threats.

The highest level of AACS surpasses standard perimeter protection, offering enhanced assurance that both external and internal access points are protected from insider threats and sophisticated attacks.

Global Impact and Future Initiatives

"For our customers across EMEA and APAC, this accreditation means fewer barriers to deployment and assurance that their Symmetry Enterprise system meets the highest security benchmarks," stated James Clark, AMAG Technology Director of Sales EMEA & APAC.

He adds, "It’s another example of how AMAG continues to lead by combining innovation with accountability. This is who we are and what we do." In line with this, AMAG Technology plans to offer a training program on NPSA for qualified customers."
