Future DoD or NIST criteria evaluations for PAN devices? (e.g. EAL 4)

ericgearhart — Wed, 27 Feb 2013 01:47:14 GMT

I see that the PA 2000 and PA 4000 devices achieved EAL 2 certification (EAL or Evaluation Assurance Level is a common US Department of Defense "hurdle" that firewall vendors have to jump over in order to even be considered in DoD networks):

Also NIAP_CCEVS: Product Compliant List is an interesting list

Are there plans for PAN to be certified at higher levels, or with other accreditation bodies such as FISMA or NIST? EAL 4 is something I would assume Palo Alto would be shooting for.

Hopefully the document at IATAC will be updated aswell when the EAL4 cert is completed:
