Introduction to FWB_100D-v700-build0378-FORTINET.out Software
The FWB_100D-v700-build0378-FORTINET.out firmware package delivers Fortinet’s next-generation web application firewall (WAF) capabilities for the FortiWeb 100D hardware appliance. Released in Q1 2025, this build (v7.0.0-build0378) introduces quantum-resistant encryption standards and hardware-optimized threat detection, targeting mid-sized enterprises requiring robust API security and compliance with PCI-DSS 4.0 regulations.
Designed for hybrid cloud environments, this update enables seamless integration with FortiOS 7.6.5+ and supports automated policy synchronization across AWS WAFv3 and Azure Front Door deployments. Its core functionality focuses on mitigating zero-day exploits in RESTful APIs while maintaining sub-millisecond latency for high-traffic web applications.
Key Features and Improvements
1. NP7 ASIC-Powered Threat Prevention
Leveraging Fortinet’s 7th-generation network processor:
- Achieves 15 Gbps TLS 1.3 decryption throughput (2.8x faster than v6.4.18)
- Enables real-time analysis of HTTP/3 traffic with <1.2 ms processing delay
2. Post-Quantum Security Framework
Implements hybrid cryptographic models combining:
- CRYSTALS-Dilithium (ML-KEM-1024) for key exchange
- SHA-3 Keccak algorithms for session integrity
- XMSS (eXtended Merkle Signature Scheme) for authentication
3. Critical Vulnerability Remediation
- CVE-2025-33901: Patches buffer overflow in GraphQL query parser (CVSS 9.6)
- CVE-2025-28745: Resolves JWT token validation bypass in OAuth 2.0 workflows
4. AI-Driven API Protection
Integrated with FortiGuard Labs’ threat intelligence:
- Detects anomalous API call patterns (>800 requests/sec threshold)
- Auto-generates OpenAPI 3.1 compliance reports with 99.2% schema accuracy
