Writing Common Criteria Documentation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781500411220)

Wes Higaki led the product certification program at Symantec Corporation for seven years. He set the product security certification strategy and managed all of the certification projects. In that role, Wes reviewed and edited the documentation used in the evaluations. Wes wrote Successful Common Criteria Evaluations: A Practical Guide for Vendors in 2010 to help others by sharing his insights into the Common Criteria process. Wes has contributed to the public awareness of the Common Criteria by co-founding the Common Criteria Vendors' Forum (CCVF). The CCVF was an informal group of representative from commercial product companies that were actively involved in Common Criteria evaluation to discuss issues and to serve as the "voice of industry" in the Common Criteria global community. Most recently, Wes has been a Common Criteria consultant creating Common Criteria documentation and providing project management for product developers. Wes has over 30 years of technical and managerial experience in the software industry. Prior to Symantec, Wes worked for Axent Technologies and over 20 years in R&D at Hewlett-Packard Company. Wes received a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics from the University of California, Davis and a Master of Science degree in computer science from Santa Clara University.
