Introduction to FWB_HYPERV-v700-build0603-FORTINET.out.hyperv.zip
The FWB_HYPERV-v700-build0603-FORTINET.out.hyperv.zip package delivers Fortinet’s enterprise-grade virtual Web Application Firewall (vWAF) solution optimized for Microsoft Hyper-V environments. This build (v700-build0603) introduces hardened security protocols and performance enhancements tailored for Windows Server 2022 and Windows 11 Enterprise virtualization platforms. Designed as a lightweight yet powerful security layer, it enables seamless integration with existing Hyper-V deployments while protecting web applications from OWASP Top 10 threats and zero-day exploits.
Compatible with Fortinet’s Security Fabric ecosystem, this virtual appliance supports automated threat intelligence sharing with FortiManager (v7.4+) and FortiAnalyzer (v7.2+) for centralized policy management. The current version (7.0.3) was officially released on May 10, 2025, featuring FIPS 140-3 Level 1 validation for government-sector deployments.
