Network Security Platform Sensor NS-3100, NS-3200, NS-5100 and NS-5200
McAfee LLC - FIPS 140 #3149
Network Security Platform products (formerly known as IntruShield) are Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) that protect network infrastructures and endpoints from intrusions such as zero-day, DoS, spyware, VoIP, botnet, malware, phishing, and encrypted attacks with highly accurate, enterprise-class risk-aware intrusion prevention. The Network Security Management system manages the sensor deployments and permits the customer to receive real-time network status updates and alerts, implement customized security policies and incident response plans, and perform forensic analysis of attacks.

Algorithm families of the CAVP certificates listed for this module, plus post-quantum algorithms named in its documents.
CAVP algorithm certificates (11)
Each approved algorithm in a FIPS 140-3 module needs its own NIST CAVP certificate. Older numeric certificates link to their NIST page; ACVP certificates (A1234) can be looked up in the CAVP validation search.
CVEs that may affect this product
sec-certs has not matched any CVE to this certificate. That is not proof the product is unaffected.
Related CVEs and certificate references are automated matches by sec-certs, not reviewed by humans: treat them as "may be affected" and verify before acting.
