Implement real-time file system integrity checking in order to:

  • Prevent unauthorized modification of important binaries.
  • Detect unauthorized binaries and prevent them from running.

Implement BIOS-level signature and file integrity checking by enforcing each FortiOS GA firmware image, AV engine files, and IPS engine files to be dually-signed by the Fortinet CA and a third-party CA.
