In addition to the WildFire Global cloud, private cloud, and hybrid cloud deployment options, Palo Alto Networks also provides access to several high-security, FedRAMP-authorized cloud environments for organizations that need to comply with secure cloud operational standards. FedRAMP-authorized clouds are available in two impact levels: High and moderate, with moderate being available in two cloud configurations. The Advanced WildFire Government Cloud complies to the FedRAMP high certification standard, while the Advanced WildFire Government Cloud and WildFire U.S. Government Cloud complies to the FedRAMP moderate certification standard.
The WildFire U.S. Government Cloud (which complies to FedRAMP moderate certification standards) is planned for decommissioning. For all new customers, Palo Alto Networks recommends using the Advanced WildFire Public Sector cloud, which has an enhanced feature set and support for the Advanced WildFire Cloud.
The FedRAMP moderate clouds (Advanced WildFire Government Cloud and WildFire U.S. Government Cloud) are generally available to Palo Alto Networks customers, however, the Advanced WildFire Government Cloud, which complies to FedRAMP high certification standards, is only available to Federal, Department of Defense, or Approved Defense Industrial Base (DIB) customers.
Due to the sensitive nature of these services, FedRAMP clouds have a specific onboarding process that differs from that of other services. For more information, refer to the specific FedRAMP cloud type:
The FedRAMP clouds listed above cannot be mixed and matched on the same device, nor can they be used concurrently with the Advanced WildFire global or regional clouds. However, any FedRAMP cloud can be used in cooperation with other cloud-based security services (eg. Advanced Threat Prevention, DLP, etc). If you need to incorporate multiple FedRAMP security levels on a single device, you must use separate account IDs. After onboarding is complete, you can reference the FedRAMP cloud URL in your Antivirus security profile and APIs in the same manner as any other Advanced WildFire cloud.
