​​Introduction to FWB_2000E-v600-build0772-FORTINET.out​​

This firmware update package delivers critical security enhancements and functional upgrades for FortiWeb 2000E series web application firewalls operating within hybrid cloud environments. Released under Fortinet’s Q2 2025 security maintenance cycle, Build 0772 resolves 5 high-severity vulnerabilities while introducing advanced API protection capabilities for Kubernetes-hosted applications.

Compatible with FortiWeb 2000E/2200E hardware appliances, this update strengthens compliance with NIST SP 800-193 Platform Firmware Resilience requirements and supports zero-trust architectures through enhanced TLS 1.3 cipher suite enforcement. Network administrators managing financial or healthcare applications should prioritize deployment to mitigate OWASP Top 10 2025 risks.
