I sell network appliances running open source software.
However I am told that companies need certified appliances for
surviving audits.
Apparently firewalls like Fortigate already have certification. How
do I obtain them for my appliance?
Will it cost a lot of money and take a long time?
I believe you are selling security appliances based on open source
software. Most of the security products in the market are certified by
NCSA <
http://security.ncsa.uiuc.edu/> and perhaps other agencies.
You know best what your product does and who your competitors are. I
would suggest that you visit the web sites of your competitors and I am
sure they have a list of all the certifications that their products
comply with.
