Cisco FTD FX-OS on 4K/9K Cryptographic Module, from Cisco Systems, Inc., holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #3306 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. When installed with the tamper evident seals and opacity shields, initialized and configured as specified in Section 3 of the Security Policy. This module contains the embedded module Cisco Firepower Threat Defense on 4K/9K Cryptographic Module validated to FIPS 140-2 under Cert. #3287 operating in FIPS mode
