  • ​​Security Fabric Integrity​​: Prevents unauthorized configuration exports via enhanced RBAC controls

​​2. Next-Gen Threat Prevention​​

  • ​​SPU Acceleration​​: Delivers 40 Gbps threat protection throughput using Security Processing Unit optimizations
  • ​​AI-Driven Analysis​​: FortiGuard Sandbox detects zero-day threats 22% faster with updated machine learning models

​​3. Infrastructure Modernization​​

  • Implements X25519Kyber512 hybrid encryption for future-ready VPN tunneling
  • Reduces IPsec handshake latency by 18% compared to 7.0.x firmware versions

​​4. Operational Enhancements​​

  • FortiManager 7.4+ compatibility for centralized firmware rollback operations
  • REST API performance improvements enabling 30% faster policy deployments

Compatibility and Requirements

Component Requirement
Supported Hardware FortiGate FG-1100E
Minimum FortiOS 7.0.12 (for configuration migration)
Management Tools FortiManager 7.4.3+, FortiAnalyzer 7.2.7+
System Resources 16GB RAM, 60GB available storage
Release Date 2025-05-16 (Feature Release)

​​Critical Notes​​:

  1. Incompatible with FG-1100D models due to NP6 ASIC architecture differences
  2. Requires firmware rollback to 7.0.12 when integrating with FortiAuthenticator 6.4.x

Limitations and Restrictions

  1. SSL inspection throughput limited to 12 Gbps on base configurations
  2. Quantum-safe VPN requires minimum 800 Mbps dedicated bandwidth
  3. SD-WAN application steering unavailable for legacy MPLS networks
