Innovative Computing Systems has received notice of a vulnerability within specific versions of FortiGate Firewalls' firmware that is currently being exploited by malicious actors. It is recommended that any FortiGate on an affected firmware version be upgraded as soon as possible to mitigate potential risk.

In order to secure your firm’s network and patch this vulnerability, we recommend updating your FortiGate soon. As the update process will take about 30 minutes and require a loss of access to your FortiGate, you should plan to do so after your normal business hours.
