You can find some information in the Hardening section of the guide. Not all the details are shared publicly.

Hi @MVSantoshReddy ,

From my understanding the information you are looking for is not publicly available. I might be wrong.

May I ask you why you are looking for those details?

Best regards,

Hello Responder / FTNT

Thank you for your response. This request was raised by several FortiGate administrators who are seeking clarity on this particular information. Could you please provide some insight into why this information is not publicly available? Is there a specific reason related to confidentiality or security concerns?

Additionally, if possible, could you advise if there is a way to obtain this information through alternative channels, such as opening a ticket with TAC (Technical Assistance Centre)? Any guidance you can provide on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Hello @fricci_FTNT  / team,

Any update on above mentioned?

Hi @MVSantoshReddy ,

Thank you for your feedback.
We are unable to provide you further details on that because of confidentiality. Knowing that type of information through a TAC support ticket is beyond TAC purposes from my understanding.
Try to get in contact with your SE, he might help you on that.

Best regards,
