Introduction to FAZ_3000G-v7.4.1-build2308-FORTINET.out

Designed for high-performance network analytics, this firmware update (build 2308) enhances the FortiAnalyzer 3000G series’ threat intelligence capabilities while addressing 9 critical CVEs identified in Fortinet’s Q1 2025 security advisory. Released under Fortinet’s accelerated security response program, version 7.4.1 introduces machine learning-driven log pattern recognition and 40% faster event correlation compared to 7.4.0.

The update maintains full compatibility with FortiOS 7.4.x security fabrics and supports multi-terabyte log retention configurations required for PCI DSS/NIST audits. As a maintenance release, it prioritizes stability for environments managing 10,000+ concurrent devices across hybrid cloud infrastructures.
