    The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is a U.S. government program that promotes the use of secure cloud services by the federal government. Cloud computing systems categorized at the Moderate security impact level in accordance with the FIPS Publication 199 security categorization are authorized to store and process government data. The Palo Alto Networks Device Security cloud is FedRAMP Moderate authorized.
    The Device Security FedRAMP Moderate solution is intended for use by U.S. government agencies requiring a standardized approach to the security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring of cloud products and services. It is also intended for use by commercial entities that do business with the U.S. government. The Device Security FedRAMP Moderate solution operates as a separate and distinct entity.
    The Device Security commercial solution and the Device Security FedRAMP Moderate solution have the following differences:
    • You must purchase an additional SKU to get an Device Security FedRAMP Moderate solution.
    • The Device Security FedRAMP Moderate solution permits only FedRAMP-authorized personnel access to data.
    • Because Palo Alto Networks enforces strict incoming security policy rules for FedRAMP tenants, you must provide Palo Alto Networks customer services with a list of IP addresses for the administrative users who will be accessing your Device Security portal. When user traffic to the portal passes through a NAT device on a perimeter firewall, edge router, or VPN gateway, provide the IP address to which NAT translates the users’ original IP addresses. After you submit a support ticket with these addresses, customer services will create an allow list for the addresses you provided, which will let users log in from these addresses and access the portal.
    • When integrating with third-party products, use a full on-premises Cortex XSOAR server. FedRAMP recommends running on-premises components of the solution using a vendor-approved FIPS version that complies with the FIPS 140-2 standard.
    Device Security supports Security policy rule recommendations and Device-ID based automated Zero Trust enforcement for Prisma Access and for next-generation firewalls in FIPS mode. Configure PAN-OS Edge Services to retrieve Device-ID verdicts and Device Security Policy Recommendations using the CLI.
