  • Patched remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2025-1122) in SSL-VPN components
  • Implemented quantum-resistant encryption via NIST-approved ML-KEM-768 algorithm
  • Expanded threat detection with 23 new IPS signatures for advanced persistent threats

Performance Optimization

  • 18 Gbps IPsec VPN throughput with NP6XLite ASIC acceleration
  • 30% faster policy processing in environments with 1,000+ firewall rules
  • Reduced memory consumption by 22% during concurrent UTM operations

Network Management

  • Automated SD-WAN path switching within 400ms of SLA violations
  • Enhanced REST API integration for AWS Security Hub
  • FIPS 140-2 Level 1 validation compliance

3. Compatibility and Requirements

​​Specification​​ ​​Requirement​​
Supported Hardware FG-101E, FG-101E-POE
Minimum RAM 8 GB DDR4 (16 GB recommended)
Storage Capacity 128 GB SSD (256 GB for logs)
