What’s New in FortiClient (Windows) 6.0.1

This section identifies the new features and enhancements in FortiClient (Windows) 6.0.1. For more information, see the FortiClient Administration Guide.

Enhanced FortiClient integration with FortiSandbox scanning

Through EMS, FortiClient is able to receive a list of valid file types to monitor locally. New files introduced into the local file system with matching file types are sent to the FortiSandbox.

EMS retrieves the list of file types from FortiSandbox. The EMS administrator may create endpoint profiles with predefined or custom lists of file types, and assign the same to endpoint groups.

This feature requires EMS 6.0.1 and FortiSandbox 3.0.0.

Added support for IPsec IKEv2

FortiClient now offers IPsec VPN with Internet Key Exchange version 2 (IKEv2) protocol between itself and the FortiGate. This is in addition to the existing support for IPsec IKEv1.

Web Filter behavior when FortiGuard unavailable

By default, FortiClient now blocks all web traffic when FortiGuard is unreachable. You can also configure FortiClient to allow web traffic when FortiGuard is unreachable using XML configuration.
