Introduction to FWB_XENSERVER-v700-build0162-FORTINET.out Software
The FWB_XENSERVER-v700-build0162-FORTINET.out package provides Fortinet’s enterprise-grade web application firewall solution optimized for Citrix Hypervisor (formerly XenServer) environments. Released on May 10, 2025, this virtual appliance addresses critical API security gaps in financial and healthcare cloud infrastructures while achieving 25% faster TLS inspection throughput compared to previous builds. Designed for organizations requiring NIST SP 800-207 zero-trust compliance, it integrates with FortiOS 7.8.x ecosystems for unified policy management across hybrid environments.
This build specifically supports Citrix Hypervisor 8.2 CU3+ deployments requiring 32 vCPUs and 64GB RAM allocation. The “v700-build0162” designation aligns with Fortinet’s Q2 2025 security framework updates, emphasizing hardware-accelerated threat detection and FIPS 140-3 cryptographic compliance.
