    • Authentication bypass risks in REST API endpoints
    • Memory corruption vulnerabilities in IPS engine
    • SSL-VPN session hijacking possibilities

2. Performance Optimizations

  • 18% faster IPsec VPN throughput via NP6 processor optimizations
  • Reduced memory consumption in SD-WAN path selection algorithms
  • Improved TCP session setup rate (9,500→11,200 sessions/sec)

3. Protocol Support Updates

  • TLS 1.3 full implementation with post-quantum cryptography trial support
  • Enhanced ZTNA broker compatibility with SAML 2.0 identity providers
  • Extended IoT device fingerprinting for 37 new industrial protocols

Compatibility Requirements

Component Supported Versions Notes
Hardware Platform FG-400E v17+ Requires 8GB RAM minimum
FortiManager 7.0.1 – 7.2.3 Full configuration sync supported
FortiAnalyzer 7.0.5 – 7.2.2 Logging format v32 compatible
VMware ESXi 6.7 U3 – 8.0 U2 HW version 15+ required

Deployment Considerations
