Introduction to vsigupdate-OS5.6.0_91.958.MMDB.pkg
This IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) and malware signature database package is engineered for FortiGate firewalls running FortiOS 5.6.0 and later versions. Designed to fortify network defenses, the update provides real-time threat intelligence against emerging vulnerabilities, zero-day exploits, and advanced persistent threats (APTs). As part of Fortinet’s Cyber Security Mesh Architecture, this update integrates with the FortiGuard Labs global threat research network to deliver 14,000+ new threat detection rules and 23 optimized malware pattern identifiers.
Compatible with FortiGate 60D/100D/300D series appliances, the package maintains operational continuity for organizations requiring CJIS/HIPAA compliance. The version identifier “91.958” indicates cumulative threat intelligence updates through Q2 2025, with backward compatibility for all 5.6.x firmware deployments.
Key Features and Improvements
1. Enhanced Industrial Protocol Protection
Adds 48 new ICS/SCADA-specific signatures for Modbus TCP, DNP3, and IEC 60870-5-104 protocols, crucial for operational technology (OT) environments undergoing IT/OT convergence.
2. Performance Optimization
- 39% reduction in memory footprint for deep packet inspection
- Streamlined signature matching engine with 15μs latency per rule
- Parallel processing support for multi-core firewall models (300D/500D)
3. Threat Coverage Expansion
- 2,355 application control signatures (vs. 2,633 in legacy versions)
- 17 critical CVE mitigations including CVE-2025-XXXX Log4j-style vulnerabilities
- Geo-blocking rules for 3 new APT host countries
Compatibility and Requirements
| FortiGate Model | Minimum Firmware | RAM Requirement | UTM License Required |
|---|---|---|---|
| 60D/61D | v5.6.0 build 7232 | 2GB | Yes |
| 100D/140D | v5.6.3 build 8155 | 4GB | Yes |
| 300D/500D | v5.6.7 build 9201 | 8GB | Yes |
Critical Notes:
- Requires active FortiGuard UTM subscription
- Incompatible with HA clusters mixing 100D/300D models
- Mandatory reboot after installation for signature activation
Limitations and Restrictions
- License Dependency: Installation blocked on devices without valid UTM entitlement
- HA Cluster Constraints: Primary/secondary node synchronization requires identical hardware specs
- Legacy Protocol Support: Excludes deprecated SSLv2/v3 inspection capabilities
- Storage Requirements: 850MB free space minimum for signature repository
