  • Adds TLS 1.3 support with quantum-resistant cipher suites (Kyber-1024, Dilithium5)
  • AI-driven API schema validation to block malformed GraphQL/REST requests

Performance Upgrades

  • 38% faster HTTP/HTTPS inspection throughput vs. 6.4.x versions
  • Reduced VM memory footprint by 22% through kernel-level optimizations

New Capabilities

  • Integrated WAAP (Web Application & API Protection) dashboard
  • Auto-learning mode for custom API security policies
  • Cross-vCenter HA synchronization for VMware environments

3. Compatibility and Requirements

Virtualization Platform Supported Versions Minimum Resources
