Introduction to FWB_3000E-v700-build0365-FORTINET.out Software
This firmware package (version 7.0.6 build 365) delivers critical security updates and operational optimizations for Fortinet’s enterprise-grade 3000E series next-generation firewalls. Released on March 15, 2025, it addresses 12 high-risk vulnerabilities identified in FortiOS 7.0.5 while introducing enhanced interoperability with hybrid cloud environments.
Specifically designed for high-throughput networks exceeding 300 Gbps, this update strengthens integration with FortiSASE 2025.3 and introduces hardware-accelerated quantum-resistant VPN protocols. Compatibility is confirmed for FortiGate 3000E/3100E/3600E appliances running FortiOS 7.0.4+ with NP7 ASIC revision D1 hardware.
Key Features and Improvements
