PA-3060 and PA-7080 Firewalls

FIPS 140-2 certificate #2616 · Palo Alto Networks · data as of 2026-10-21

PA-3060 and PA-7080 Firewalls, from Palo Alto Networks, holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #2616 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. Moved to historical list due to sunsetting. 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.

The Palo Alto Networks PA-3060 and PA-7080 firewalls provide network security by enabling enterprises to see and control applications, users, and content using three unique identification technologies: App-ID, User-ID, and Content-ID. These identification technologies, found in Palo Alto Networks' enterprise firewalls, enable enterprises to create business-relevant security policies - safely enabling organizations to adopt new applications, instead of the traditional "all-or-nothing" approach offered by traditional port-blocking firewalls used in many security infrastructures.
