CHANDLER, Ariz., Sept. 24, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- VIAVI Solutions, a global leader in test and measurement and optical technologies, has achieved CMMC Level 2 certification for its radio test, avionics, synthetic and modular, and Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) product lines. This certification underscores the company's commitment to cybersecurity and its role as a trusted partner to government, defense, and national security organizations.
The certification was awarded by A-LIGN, a leading C3PAO (Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization) and experienced federal assessor. Doug Russell, Senior Vice President and General Manager of VIAVI's Aerospace and Defense division, expressed pride in the achievement.
CMMC, or Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification, was developed by the U.S. Department of Defense to ensure that cybersecurity controls and processes adequately protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) on DIB (Defense Industrial Base) systems and networks. This certification is mandatory for all entities doing business with the DoD, making it a critical requirement for companies in the aerospace and defense sector.
The successful completion of the CMMC Level 2 certification is a significant milestone for VIAVI's Aerospace and Defense division. The certification covers VIAVI's radio test, avionics, synthetic and modular, and Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) product lines. The company plans to extend the certification to the Inertial Labs product lines, which were acquired by VIAVI in 2025.
Petar Besalev, Executive Vice President of Compliance and Cybersecurity Services at A-LIGN, congratulated VIAVI on its achievement.
VIAVI's commitment to cybersecurity is a testament to its position as a global leader in test and measurement and optical technologies. The company's test and measurement, and resilient Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) solutions enable and secure critical infrastructure ranging from data center ecosystems and communication networks to military, aerospace, railway, and first responder communications.
The certification not only enhances VIAVI's reputation as a trusted partner to the U.S. Defense Industrial Base but also positions the company to compete more effectively in the aerospace and defense sector. By adhering to rigorous cybersecurity standards, VIAVI ensures the protection of federal contract information and CUI, thereby safeguarding the United States' national security.
In summary, VIAVI Solutions' achievement of CMMC Level 2 certification for its radio test, avionics, synthetic and modular, and Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) product lines is a significant step in the company's ongoing commitment to cybersecurity and its role as a trusted partner to government, defense, and national security organizations.
