FORT MYERS, FL, UNITED STATES, June 24, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The AlmaLinux OS Foundation, the nonprofit that stewards the free, community-governed open source enterprise Linux distribution, today announced that AlmaLinux OS 9.2 has obtained the Common Criteria (CC) certification (ISO/IEC 15408) in Japan, an internationally recognized standard for evaluating the security functions of IT products.
The certification was achieved in collaboration with Cybertrust Japan, whose team supported and contributed to the evaluation process as part of its long-standing involvement in the AlmaLinux ecosystem in Japan.
Common Criteria certification is a third-party evaluation framework that verifies IT products meet internationally defined security assurance requirements. The certification is particularly important for critical infrastructure environments, including government, finance, and healthcare, where supply chain security and verified system integrity are increasingly essential.
With this certification, AlmaLinux 9.2 provides additional assurance that its security functions have been independently evaluated against ISO/IEC 15408 standards, reinforcing its suitability for enterprise and mission-critical deployments requiring high levels of trust and compliance.
“Organizations are increasingly looking for enterprise platforms that combine openness, transparency, and independently verified security,” said benny Vasquez, chair of the AlmaLinux OS Foundation. “This certification reinforces that AlmaLinux delivers all three while giving organizations in Japan additional confidence when deploying AlmaLinux in environments where security assurance and compliance are nothing short of essential.”
