FortiGuard Outbreak Alert (Short): Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS GlobalProtect Auth Bypass

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 21:58:32 Z

In this outbreak alert video, we discuss CVE-2026-0257, a high-severity authentication bypass vulnerability affecting Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS GlobalProtect portal and gateway components, as well as certain Prisma Access deployments. According to FortiGuard Labs, attackers are actively exploiting this vulnerability to bypass authentication controls and establish unauthorized VPN sessions through exposed GlobalProtect gateways. Successful exploitation may allow threat actors to gain network-level access, perform reconnaissance, move laterally, or launch follow-on attacks within affected environments. We also review the latest developments, including reported exploitation activity, CISA KEV catalog inclusion, and FortiGuard protections such as IPS coverage, IOC detection, outbreak detection, automated response, and attack surface hardening.

FortiClient EMS 8.0: FortiAI

Thu, 11 Jun 2026 18:42:41 Z

In this video, we introduce EMS for AI, an AI-powered assistant designed to help customers work more efficiently inside FortiClient EMS. We cover how Forti-AI can be installed as a separate add-on package during EMS installation or afterward using the EMS CLI command, and how to enable it from EMS settings. We also walk through examples of what Forti-AI can do, including listing endpoints, quarantining endpoints with user approval, creating a new firewall endpoint profile, and creating a security posture tag. These examples show how Forti-AI can help administrators quickly find information, perform configuration tasks, and streamline EMS workflows. Topics covered: What EMS for AI is Installing Forti-AI during or after EMS installation Enabling Forti-AI in EMS settings Using the Forti-AI chat interface Listing and quarantining endpoints Creating endpoint profiles Creating security posture tags Verifying Forti-AI created configurations in EMS

FortiClient Standalone

Wed, 10 Jun 2026 16:36:7 Z

Learn how FortiClient Standalone provides secure VPN access without requiring FortiClient EMS. In this demo, we show how FortiClient Standalone works with FortiIdentity Cloud and FortiGate to deliver a streamlined remote access experience. FortiIdentity Cloud handles user onboarding, authentication, MFA, and basic endpoint visibility, while FortiGate provides the secure IPsec VPN connection. This video walks through the full workflow, including creating a realm in FortiIdentity Cloud, assigning the FortiClient VPN/EPP service to a user, configuring an IPsec VPN tunnel on FortiGate, enabling SAML single sign-on, onboarding the user with an invitation code, and establishing a secure VPN connection from FortiClient Standalone. FortiClient Standalone is a practical option for organizations using Free FortiClient or open-source IPsec agents with FortiGate who want a more integrated Fortinet remote access solution without moving to EMS. Topics covered: FortiClient Standalone overview FortiIdentity Cloud user onboarding MFA and SAML single sign-on FortiGate IPsec VPN configuration FortiClient Standalone invitation-based registration Secure VPN connection without EMS Basic endpoint visibility and tunnel IP assignment

FortiOS 8.0: VDOM Support for Replacement Message Images

Fri, 5 Jun 2026 20:11:29 Z

In this video, we introduce a new FortiOS 8.0 feature: VDOM support for replacement message images. Previously, replacement message images were supported only at the global scope, meaning all VDOMs shared the same image. With this enhancement, FortiOS now supports replacement message images at both global and per-VDOM scopes, giving administrators more flexibility and control. In the demo, we walk through the updated Replacement Messages page, the new Message and Image tabs, global image name prefix validation, read-only global entries inside VDOMs, and how replacement message images remain isolated between VDOMs. We also show how to update the login page HTML to use a VDOM-specific image and verify that different VDOM interfaces display their own login message images. Finally, we review the updated image list view, including the new Scope and In Use columns, which make it easier to identify image ownership and usage at a glance. Watch this video to learn how FortiOS 8.0 improves replacement message image management across global and VDOM scopes.

FortiOS 8.0: Configuring IPsec VPN to Ensure Continuous Endpoint Tag Verification During EMS Outages

Mon, 1 Jun 2026 21:50:3 Z

Learn how FortiOS 8.0 enhances IPsec VPN endpoint compliance by enabling continuous endpoint tag verification, even when EMS is unavailable. In this video, we demonstrate how FortiClient sends endpoint tags to FortiOS as JSON Web Tokens (JWTs), allowing FortiOS to validate endpoint compliance directly. FortiOS continues to retrieve the latest endpoint tags from EMS when available, while maintaining the ability to validate compliance using tags received from FortiClient during EMS outages or periods of unresponsiveness. This enhancement helps maintain security posture, reduces dependency on EMS availability, and prevents unnecessary VPN connection failures caused by temporary EMS connectivity issues. Topics covered: • EMS tag checks for IPsec VPN Phase 2 • JSON Web Token (JWT) endpoint tag validation • FortiClient endpoint tag transmission • EMS outage and fallback validation behavior • Security posture verification • VPN tunnel continuity during EMS disruptions • FortiOS 8.0 enhancements

FortiOS 8.0: FortiGuard Server Selection and Server Preference Enhancements

Fri, 29 May 2026 23:21:22 Z

Learn about the latest FortiGuard server selection and server preference enhancements in FortiOS. In this video, we explore improvements to how FortiGate selects FortiGuard servers, including RTT-based server sorting and new server preference options available directly from the GUI. First, we demonstrate how FortiGate now prioritizes Round-Trip Time (RTT) when selecting FortiGuard servers, ensuring communication with the closest and fastest available servers for improved performance. Next, we look at the new FortiGuard server preference options, which allow administrators to control how public and custom FortiGuard servers are prioritized. We also demonstrate enhancements to server load balancing, including the increased default value of the load-balance-servers option, enabling FortiGate to distribute traffic across up to five FortiGuard servers using a round-robin method. Topics covered: • RTT-based FortiGuard server selection • FortiGuard server list visibility in the GUI • Public and custom server preference options • FortiGuard server prioritization behavior • Load balancing across multiple FortiGuard servers • Round-robin query distribution • FortiOS 8.0 enhancements This video is part of the FortiOS 8.0 feature demonstration series. #Fortinet #FortiOS #FortiGuard #FortiGate #NetworkSecurity #CyberSecurity #SecurityFabric

FortiOS 8.0: Switch Controller NAC Segmentation using EAP Identity

Mon, 25 May 2026 17:9:50 Z

Learn how FortiOS 8.0 enables NAC segmentation using EAP identity within the FortiOS Switch Controller. This feature allows FortiSwitch Network Access Control (NAC) and 802.1X MAC-based authentication to operate together on the same switch port, enabling dynamic VLAN assignment based on authenticated user identity and group membership. In this video, we demonstrate how NAC user policies interact with 802.1X authentication workflows, how authenticated devices are matched against user groups returned by the RADIUS server, and how matching devices are automatically assigned to a designated VLAN. We also explore the new CLI configuration to manage the firewall authentication user hold period using the "allow-idle" parameter in the firewall auth MAC list. This configuration controls how long authenticated devices remain in the firewall authentication table before NAC policy matches are removed.

FortiOS 8.0: Integration with FortiAI

Thu, 21 May 2026 17:12:47 Z
