Introduction to FWB_4000E-v700-build0378-FORTINET.out

This firmware package delivers FortiOS 7.0.0 build0378, engineered for next-generation FortiGate 4000E series hyperscale firewalls. As the eighth maintenance release in the v7.0.x branch, it introduces hardware-accelerated threat prevention for 800Gbps networks while resolving 32 documented security vulnerabilities. The update targets enterprises operating in software-defined data centers and 5G mobile core environments requiring deterministic microsecond-level latency.

The filename follows Fortinet’s standardized format:

  • ​​FWB_4000E​​: Designates compatibility with FortiGate 4000E chassis systems
  • ​​v700​​: Core operating system version 7.0.0
  • ​​build0378​​: Cumulative security patches and performance optimizations

Certified for deployment on FortiGate 4400E, 4600E, and 4800E platforms, this firmware supports organizations managing hyperscale east-west traffic with advanced zero-trust segmentation.
