Panorama M-100 and M-500

FIPS 140-2 certificate #3115 · Palo Alto Networks · data as of 2026-10-21

Panorama M-100 and M-500, from Palo Alto Networks, holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #3115 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 800-56Arev3 transition. 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 and M-500 provides centralized management and visibility 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. The M-500 provides an additional service, the PAN-DB private cloud, which is an on-premise solution suitable for organizations that prohibit or restrict the use of the PAN-DB public cloud service.
