[4.36] Patch 5 - August 28, 2025

Fortanix Data Security Manager (DSM) 4.36.2580.2909 release provides an overview of improvements.

Your title goes here

• You are REQUIRED to upgrade Fortanix DSM to version 4.31 or 4.34 before upgrading to version 4.36.2580.2909. If you want to upgrade Fortanix DSM to version 4.36.2580.2909 from a version earlier than 4.31, please contact the Fortanix Support team at your earliest to validate the upgrade path.

• Downgrade from 4.36.2580.2909 to any prior version is not supported due to the DCAP migration.

• If you are upgrading to Fortanix DSM version 4.36.2580.2909 with the BMC update, you can only upgrade to version 5.0 patch 4, which supports the latest BMC version. Upgrading to a version lower than 5.0 patch 4 will result in the upgrade getting stuck due to an incompatible (lower) BMC version.

NOTE

• The Fortanix DSM cluster upgrade must be done with Fortanix Support on call. Please reach out to Fortanix support if you are planning an upgrade.

• The customer's BIOS version must be checked by Fortanix Support before the Fortanix DSM software upgrade. If required, the BIOS version should be upgraded to the latest version and verified by Fortanix Support for a smooth upgrade.

• If your Fortanix DSM version is 4.31 or later, then the HSM Gateway version must also be 4.31 or later. Similarly, if the HSM Gateway version is 4.31 or later, then your Fortanix DSM version must be 4.31 or later.

1. Improvements

• Disallow transforming a non-exportable BIP-32 key into an exportable key. Transformed objects now inherit the export restrictions of their parent, ensuring the original export restrictions are preserved (JIRA: PROD-10562).
