Introduction to FWB_400D-v700-build0400-FORTINET.out

This firmware package delivers mission-critical security upgrades for Fortinet’s FortiWeb 400D series web application firewalls. Released under FortiOS 7.0.0 architecture in Q3 2025, build 0400 resolves 23 CVEs identified in FortiGuard Labs’ mid-year threat analysis while optimizing hybrid cloud security operations.

Designed for enterprise web application protection, the update supports:

  • FortiWeb 400D appliances (FW-400D)
  • FortiWeb 410D high-availability clusters
  • Virtual Machine editions on VMware ESXi 8.0+ and KVM 6.0+

Version v700-build0400 implements quantum-safe cryptography prototypes and aligns with NIST SP 800-204C standards for federal cloud deployments.
