Introduction to FWB_VM-64bit-v700-build0622-FORTINET.out

This virtual appliance release delivers enterprise-grade web application firewall (WAF) enhancements for FortiWeb 7.0 environments deployed on VMware virtualization platforms. As part of Fortinet’s Extended Security Maintenance program, build 0622 addresses 11 CVEs identified in Q2 2025 while optimizing resource allocation for cloud-native deployments.

The software package contains Open Virtualization Format (OVF) templates and virtual disk files preconfigured with FortiOS 7.0.6, specifically engineered for 64-bit architectures. Designed for hybrid cloud environments, this build introduces hardware-assisted TLS decryption improvements and enhanced machine learning models for zero-day attack detection.
