Patched Solutions for Enhanced Security
The term "patched" in the context of virtualization and security solutions implies ensuring that all software and firmware are updated to protect against known vulnerabilities. For Fortinet solutions integrated with KVM or VMware, regular updates and patches are crucial to maintaining security integrity.
- Add / enable a feature in the FortiGate VM (KVM/qcow2),
- Build / customize a new feature into the image,
- Or document / patch the feature into the firmware structure.
