Cisco Firepower 4100 and Cisco Firepower 9300 Series

FIPS 140-2 certificate #2919 · Cisco Systems, Inc. · data as of 2026-10-21

Cisco Firepower 4100 and Cisco Firepower 9300 Series, from Cisco Systems, Inc., holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #2919 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 dependency on certificate #2898. 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. This module contains the embedded module Cisco ASA Cryptographic Module validated to FIPS 140-2 under Cert. #2898 operating in FIPS mode

Module description

Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.

Next generation security services platforms capable of running multiple security services simultaneously. Providing firewall (NGFW), traffic management Cisco Firepower 4100 Series is a family of four threat threat-focused NGFW security platforms. While the Cisco Firepower 9300 is a scalable carrier-grade, modular platform designed for service providers, high-performance computing centers. These are all next generation security services platforms capable of running multiple (firewall (NGFW), traffic management) security services simultaneously.
