Opening ports in the security group
By default, when you deploy FortiGate, there is a predefined security group that you can select based on Fortinet's recommendation. The following ports are allowed in the predefined security group assuming immediate and near-future needs.

FortiGate-specific open ports are explained in Fortinet Communication Ports and Protocols.
To configure bare-minimum access that gives the most strict incoming access, allow only TCP 443 to access the FortiGate GUI console as mentioned in Connecting to the FortiGate and close all other ports. You may want to allow ICMP for pinging, and so on, as needed.
