Introduction to FWB_KVM-v700-build0404-FORTINET.out

This KVM-optimized virtual appliance delivers FortiOS 7.0.0 security enhancements for enterprise network protection in virtualized environments. Released on May 16, 2025 (build 0404), it combines next-generation firewall capabilities with hardware-assisted threat prevention for KVM/QEMU hypervisors. The software package supports advanced security fabric integration with FortiManager 7.6.5+ and FortiAnalyzer 7.5.1+, enabling centralized policy management across hybrid infrastructures.

Designed for IT administrators deploying FortiGate NGFW in cloud environments, this build introduces dynamic SD-WAN orchestration and zero-trust network access (ZTNA) controls. It maintains compatibility with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.3 virtualization platforms and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS hypervisors.
