Panorama M-100

FIPS 140-2 certificate #2453 · Palo Alto Networks · data as of 2026-10-21

Panorama M-100, from Palo Alto Networks, holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #2453 at overall level 2. The validation is historical: agencies may keep the module in existing systems but not buy it new. Below are its validation history, algorithm certificates and security policy, drawn from the NIST CMVP entry.

Historical. SP 800-131A transition which disallows key wrapping not compliant to SP 800-38F.. Federal agencies may reference historical validations for existing systems only, not for new procurement.
Caveat: When operated in FIPS mode and with the tamper evident seals and opacity shields installed as indicated in the Security Policy

Module description

Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.

Panorama on the M-100 provides centralized management and visibilty of multiple Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewalls and supports distributed management and logging functions. It allows you to oversee all applications, users, and content traversing the network and then create application enablement policies that protect and control the entire network. Using Panorama for policy and device management increases operational effeciency in managing and maintaining distributed network of firewalls.
