FortiOS 6.2
FortiOS 6.2, from Fortinet, Inc., holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #4614 at overall level 1. 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.
Caveat: When operated in FIPS mode and installed, initialized and configured as specified in the FIPS 140-2 Compliant Operation Section of the Security Policy. Authentication at level 3 is only applicable when identity-based authentication is enforced for the User role.
