1. Introduction to FGT_VM64_HV-v7.0.7.F-build0367-FORTINET.out

This firmware package delivers enterprise-grade security enhancements for FortiGate’s Hyper-V virtual appliance, specifically optimized for Microsoft virtualization environments under FortiOS 7.0.7. Released in Q2 2025, build 0367 addresses 11 CVEs from previous versions while introducing hardware-accelerated TLS inspection capabilities for Hyper-V deployments.

Designed for hybrid cloud environments, this version supports native integration with Azure Stack HCI 22H2 and Windows Server 2025 Hyper-V platforms. It maintains backward compatibility with configurations migrated from FortiOS 6.4.x through automated policy conversion tools, particularly benefiting organizations managing encrypted east-west traffic flows in virtualized data centers.
