Introduction to FWB_XENOPEN-v700-build0400-FORTINET.out Software
This virtualization-optimized firmware package (build 0400) enhances FortiWeb’s web application firewall capabilities for Citrix XenServer environments under Fortinet’s v7.0 architecture. Designed for hybrid cloud deployments requiring elastic security scaling, the release introduces hardware-assisted cryptographic offloading while maintaining backward compatibility with security policies configured in v6.4.x environments.
The software supports XenServer 8.2 LTSR hypervisors running on certified hardware platforms with Intel Xeon Scalable processors (Ice Lake or newer). Release notes dated May 16, 2025 confirm QA validation, featuring enhanced integration with Xen Orchestra management consoles through REST API optimizations.
