1. Introduction to FGT_VM64_HV-v7.0.13.M-build0566-FORTINET.out Software
This firmware release (build 0566) delivers FortiOS 7.0.13M for FortiGate Virtual Appliances (VM64-HV) running on Microsoft Hyper-V platforms. Designed to address critical vulnerabilities in multi-tenant cloud environments, this May 2025 maintenance update implements NIST SP 800-207 Rev.4 zero-trust architecture controls. The “HV” designation confirms native optimization for Hyper-V 2022 hosts, achieving 120 Gbps virtual firewall throughput for enterprises requiring FedRAMP Moderate compliance.
As part of Fortinet’s Security Fabric ecosystem, this build enhances interoperability with FortiManager 7.6.3+ and FortiAnalyzer 8.0.2+ for centralized policy orchestration and petabyte-scale log analysis. The “M” suffix indicates enhanced malware detection through FortiSandbox 7.6.5+ integration with improved API-driven threat intelligence sharing.
