Why This Update Matters
With 68% of security breaches targeting web applications in 2025 (FortiGuard Labs), build 0365 provides essential safeguards for:
- Financial institutions securing payment gateways
- SaaS providers defending REST/SOAP API endpoints
- Healthcare systems managing HL7/FHIR-compliant data exchanges
Administrators running FortiWeb XenServer versions prior to v7.0.0 should prioritize this update due to CVE-2024-57122’s critical CVSS score of 9.1. Test deployments using XenServer’s snapshot features before production rollout.
Note: Unauthorized redistribution violates Fortinet’s licensing terms. Always validate firmware authenticity before deployment.
